I found out today that I passed ROFR. My contract is 175 pts at AKV with all points 2012 and forward at $67 PP with seller paying MF and buyer paying closing fees. Mine went to Disney for ROFR on April 17th. I bought thru Fidelity and when Sharon called and gave me the good news this morning she indicated that Disney had ROFRed several contracts today. I was in a meeting when I got the text and I must admit, it was hard to stay focused on work. We are looking forward to 3 trips in 2014 including 25th wedding anniversary and oldest sons college graduation celebration.

Am interested in adding a BLT contract, but all the prices are $95 plus. What was the asking price of this contract?
Thanks.

Asking price is just an asking price.. Offer what you see fit!

I would start with the lowest passing prices through negotiate from there. That being said, people are crazy when. It come to dvc and they don't approach it from a buying real estate view... They are very emotional about it and sellers know this.

That also being said I will only pay and buy what I think is a good deal... That involves a lower than asking pp and seller paying closing or mf or both.

I have found contracts that fit my criteria. Just have to be patient.

To be clear....a full price contract offer with the buyer paying closing costs isn't always a bad deal. In fact, sometimes it's a GREAT deal. A full price offer of $70 is the same as someone agreeing to drop their price from $80 to $70. Sometimes the asking price is already a great deal.

They started at $90, offered $80 and accepted.

It's easy to get emotional with your first contract but after that, it does not seem as stressful or emotional- Probably since you are already a member & have some points to enjoy. Is there a certain broker that you tend to use more frequently &/or look for the right time in the market (not so much ROFR activity, etc)? Sounds like you have found some great deals- congrats & enjoy your points!

 

[Pbuttadad]

The seller I had was actually ok with 63pp with splitting all other fees. I was a little skepticle with only 63pp and all the recent ROFR lately. So I just rearranged the numbers where I would pay 68pp, seller paying the rest. I'm only on day 6... But in my head I think I made the right choice.

Thank you, that is really good to know.

I have found really good deals on fidelity. Not all the sellers are motivated, one offer i made two months ago still hasn't responded to! TSS has some good deals to. TSS seems more prone to people just offering asking or more for some reason. I even has the sales agent tell me that someone might coming in and offer asking while I was negotiating so I had better offer full price. I said I only wanted it if I thought it was a good deal. Fidelity requires a lot of patience. I don't really care about rofr... Disney has really no rhyme ot reason to it, if it gets rofr no biggie, just look for another.

I have only been seriously looking since March and every few days someone has good listings pop up. There will always be some for sale.

You don't go to a car dealership and offer more for a red car, you bargain for it or wait for a better red car to come along.
