I was hoping to be patient enough until I could get a contract for $55 but was diagnosed with breast cancer the same day as the seller counter offered and decided I didn't want to mess with it anymore. In the grand scheme of things it's only $500 more than I wanted to spend!

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Good luck with ROFR and treatment.

I'm so sorry to hear of your diagnosis. In the scheme of things it's amazing how unimportant a timeshare contract can become. One minute it's all you think about and the next minute it's the last thing you will think about. Just get well and the contract will take care of itself

$58 ppt, seller asked initially for $63 but agreed to my lower offer. The agent got back to me later in the day and told me that she had just had a contract ROFR'd for $58, but I decided to roll with it.... hindsight as they say.
I know from this thread other contracts have since gone through at the $60 range.

Kind of wish I hadn't been so greedy, especially since I am having a LOT of trouble finding <100 point contracts for March UY (our current contract) I just can't really wrap my head around trying to juggle multiple UY's, though I know some do,.... just in my hectic,sometimes addled life, I need to keep things simple.

Thanks for the "March" sympathy... we'll just keep watching.
Good luck to everyone waiting!

I have a March use year too. Last time around, before I sold all my points, I had September as a use year. It was way, way, more easy to get September. Thinking about it, I wish I'd waited to buy in Dec this time around. That's a great use year. All the resorts have a lot of inventory for December and it fits my life style better. But now I'm stuck with March and so I'll grin and bear it, as they say!

Your contract went much faster than mine. We passed a few days later, but just got our closing documents this week. Congrats!

We have an August UY and it is VERY difficult to find contracts under 125 pts at our resorts with that UY. We had one small March UY contract at VWL but sold it after using all the banked points. I've noticed that September & December seem to be more prevalent but like you, we'll live with what we have.

So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I hope that contract brings you happy thoughts through this.

My points dropped into my account today (Monday), exactly two calendar weeks after closing. Yea! Banked my points and made my reservation.

We found out this morning that we passed ROFR! This thread was such a huge help to us. I didn't want to be rude offering well below asking but I knew the going rates from these boards and figured the worst thing I could hear was a "No."

The original asking price was $84.44
