A hypothetical situation

[melissa70]

Let’s revisit how this one ‘hypothetically’ started here. Now look where we are. OP ultimately went back in time and reset history. I now sit back and root for @melissa70. It’s like a Hallmark movie.

If you knew me IRL you’d understand

It actually started here (below) with RIV direct. Which led me to believe finances were not a road block for buying which led me to point out even though CCV was a bit more up front, long term its a substantially better value. I guess CCV and BRV are extremely similar to me but not to others. I learned that through all this.

Yes!! That original start. It was a feelings purchase BRV, in my option a good price for 160 points. Asking about a FOMO add on. How did we get here? Wasn’t on my bingo card.

I want to know you here in our DVC life. We were on a 2-3 month resale journey WITH you.

And who would think that the next 2 stages of resale are much more stressful than the initial purchase. Thats a huge upside to buying direct. Easy peasy, quick, no stress. Amazing.

Well, I just want to give @melissa70 some props. You came on these boards and solicited input. I think you recognized you weren’t exactly sure what you want and, although not every interaction on here was smooth as silk, you didn’t do what I think most people would do. You didn’t double down on your choice and convince yourself you were right and everyone else was wrong. You processed the information, did more research and reflecting and cancelled your BRV purchase. That’s exactly what the 10-day rescission period is for. I think you made the right decision. Now you can take as much time as you want or need to be certain of what you want and go for it. And, hey, that could even be BRV at the end of the day if what you really want is a very merry BRV Christmas .

Now, if you come back and tell us your Vero Beach contract was sent to ROFR and you’re really excited to be using them to stay at SSR or OKW, I take it all back .

(If you haven’t looked at it yet, VB has probably the worst economics of any resort you can buy but sometimes people get lured in by the cheap up front price - I even contemplated it at one time until I ran the numbers.).

Yeah..but end up completely penniless.

I’ve since gotten over my FOMO add on. The perks just aren’t worth it for me..unless they have a fire sale..never say never

So..I may or may not be putting in an offer for 250 SSR contract full points for 2025 and 2026.. 93 dollars a point. Thoughts??

 

[Wedgeout]

I’m going to support you no matter what. Those large contracts can be a pain to sell again.

I always offer lower, but there's a chance it sells from under you, but to me it's worth it. I believe SSR in in the 80's not 90's but again personal choice if negotiations are your thing.

They want 103 that’s why I’m thinking 93

Wedgeout I need at least 250 for what I want to stay in! I know some people would say buy 2 smaller contracts but that means two closing fees and more aggravation and sometimes more money per point

Just make sure the UY works for you.

I still think waiting about 3 weeks could be very beneficial for you but I know that is hard to do, believe me I know.

 

[PolyRob]

Do you think that is as much of a problem for 1 BRs? Just curious because I have yet to live though trying to secure a December booking yet. Of course, even if not a problem now, could be in the future. And I’m sure it varies by resort too.

Early December one-bedrooms are hard at VGF

I haven't watched CCV or BRV close enough, but I imagine they're also in high demand with the display WL puts up.

@melissa70 this is very good advice. The options on the market are much better after the dues statements come out.

Can everyone stop pushing CCV please?

Thanks,
Someone looking for those prices to drop

I had that same thought as I’m on here talking it up. I might want more at some point and I’m happy to be able to score some deals on it .

I'd add one more piece of advcie: go slowly from here. No need to rush into anything!

Where the heck was this advice when I needed it?

Right? It's rare for us enablers to say slow down and wait. So right now is actually a very good time to have patience.
