I just called Fidelity and she realized I was not in the batch of emails she sent out today. WE PASSED!!! We submitted our BWV contract on April 17 and they received the waiver on it yesterday, the 16th. How close can you get? There are 0 points available. Next anniversary, 6/13, will have 654 points, 304 are banked points that will expire 5/31/14. $77/point. June UY. Buyer paying closing and 2013 MF. The twist here was that the sellers had 350 transferred points in RCI, that were good until December '13. We wanted to close sooner than that so went higher on the price. By agreeing to an immediate closing, the seller will lose those points at the day of closing. But we didn't want to be on the hook until December '13. Went to title company today. princess:

:cool1: Glad you made it through - hope the closing is a smooth transition for you and ENJOY those points pixiedust:
 
Thanks, dbs! I know you had first dibs on this baby. Kind of bittersweet, since your's didn't go through this week.

Hope to meet you at WDW some day!!!

Frustrating :headache: we closed on May 1st and points are still not transferred out of our account(we are sellers). May 2nd our deed was posted to the website. What is taking Disney so long:confused3. We are suppose to close May 31st on our cottage and need the $$$$$ to close. Getting nervous.
 


Guess all I needed to do was compan because just checked again and points are gone. The where there earlier and now gone feeling much better. :)

As you know I had my check within 5 days after points were gone and that was snail mail! Go luck and enjoy your cottage!:thumbsup2

Much happier you have the contract that works for you then Disney -:thumbsup2 it was indicated to me that the sellers would have taken a half way point of what the original price was and the new listing price for it but at that point I was already out! If I had done that Disney would have taken it I am convinced!

I am now waiting to see what happens - just not willing to spend 80.00PP on BWV when I can get BLT for 85.00 and 18 years longer all 3 DD's are big Disney fans and we already have 285 at BLT so it may just make sense. We will see what the market does. Or maybe I will win powerball tonight then it just will not matter:rotfl2:

I am really happy you got such a great contract!

how did you get the pictures in your signature?
 
In the first skinny turquoise bar above, go to Quick Links. from the drop down, select Edit signature. It took me five or six times, linking to the image, before it finally appeared. You can check it out by clicking the preview button, which is located at the center bottom of the screen, next to the approve/save button.

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.

This is great advice. We had three contacts go this weekend where others came in and paid asking. I will not do it. You take it a step further and have sellers pay closing or mf. Do you just end up finding people who are hungry. Seems there are plenty of folks willing to pay sticker price.
 
Sharp! Looks good!

Checking the updated ROFR lists and it seems that even loaded contracts with SSR went in the high fifties. They were submitted a month or so ago. AKL seems to be in the low sixties. Again, my experience this past week has been that contracts are getting offers at full asking--71-73 for SSR and 75 or so for AKL. Can I get a contract in the 60 dollar range?

Did you check page 162 of this thread for the most current info? I think you should be able to get AKV for in the $60s.

Yes, I checked page 162. What is with people paying 75 for Animal Kingdom? I've been scooped 4 times this weekend.

I see what you're saying and I think you need to have a little more patience. This is the absolute worst time to buy resale in the past 15 months, but it doesn't mean that deals can't be had. The prices are higher now, we just don't know if that's the new normal or just a temporary bump. It's not a perfect market and you should be able to find something in your price range, provided you stay on top of it. I would also check out the listings here http://fidelityresales.com/Disney-Animal_Kingdom_Lodge_Villas.php and put in an offer you are comfortable with. These things take time. Just remember, even at $70pp you are still saving half over buying direct. Good luck, and breathe. :)

Thanks. I don't think I want to go with Fidelity. I actually saw a contract I like, but she is so slow to return call, update the site, etc. etc. I'm not willing to deal with that kind of customer service. I will have patience, I just can't believe the frenzy that seems to be happening.

Fidelity doesn't update it's own site, they have an IT company do it (typically on Tuesdays and Thursdays). With Fidelity, you typically can get the lowest resale prices but the tradeoff is having to stay on top of them with emails and calls. If that's not something you're willing to do, then you should look at the other three brokers (and prepare yourself to pay more than the rock-bottom prices you've been looking for). It is a trying time to be buying your first DVC contract, keep trying and just know that you'll find something that works for you eventually!
