12 less years of dues is better ??

[brap]

I did the SSR tour when was a WDW for new years. I think DVC is the right move for my family, I'm just on the fence as to where to buy. The F&F deal seems really good but i like BCV for the Epcot proximity.

One question that i have not seen asked here is..

In my calculations i think i actually preffer the 2042 expiration as i see that as 12 less years of dues; as its really the dues that cost in DVC. Also it seems that BCV will always have a higher demand and better chance of resale due to the limited number of rooms and the proximity to Epcot.

Am I missing something here?

But you also get 12 less years of DVC membership.
For some folks of a certain age who don't have kids, that may be a good thing.

My son is only nine now and he will definately inherit our 400 points at SSR.

This is just my personal opinion but I would think that the dues increase for SSR will be less than most other DVC since there are more points to spread the cost over.

12 less years wouldn't work for us... we're already trying to figure out how to divy up our 295 points with 4 kids!

~Honey~ we may need another add on

I believe my guide once told me that SSR has 4 million points, I could be wrong but I think that's the number.

The resale value depends on your time frame. If you sell in 2042, BCV becomes worthless, while SSR has 12 years left (and hence some value).

Really, you'd have to value it one way or the other. If you think you'll sell, you want the one with the higher value at that time.

The dues only make a differnce if you DON'T sell - if you sell you won't be paying those 12 years anyway!

Think of when you'd most likely sell. If it's after 2022, I'd think SSR would have more value just based on the length of contract.

One thing everyone always leaves out when they do their calculations is the appreciation of the asset. Since we bought in to BCV almost 4 years ago we would realize a 20% gain on our investment. Note: Less when you factor in sellers costs.

Now, this is all based on the current resale prices I am seeing on the reseller sites. I am not sure that other DVC units have appreciated at that rate - but - I am certain they all have appreciated.

Obviously you do not buy in to DVC looking to make money on an asset that will appreciate. But, they have some.

My guess is that SSR will not increase at the same rate as BCV just because of supply/demand.

Also isn't BCV sold out. The only way to get points is through resale and I heard there hard to get. The only thing Disney pushes is SSR, they won't bring up the BWV points they have for sale unless you ask specifically for another resort, and BWV is sold out as well.

I think you are correct - but - I still think you can get some as add-ons. What will be interesting to see is how BCV holds its value if they open up a new resort at the Contemporary.
