About to put an offer on Saratoga Springs - Offer accepted at OKW

[maarch]

Wow...

I've been waiting for the seller to sign the contract so we can send it and move with the ROFR.

Tonight I call Fidelity and they say the seller don't want to do it anymore at the accepted offer and they want 105$ instead ( 10$ more per points ).

I can't believe it. There was a great Saratoga Spring on Time Share Store the day after I made the offer with pts in banks that we could have made an offer instead. Now this one is gone and we might not even get the Bay Lake ( not sure I want to do it at this price specially after all of this ).

I don't know what to do anymore.

While I understand your frustration, I would offer to meet them in the middle at $100. Honestly, I was a little surprised when you said they accepted $95 on a small contract like that.

That's what I did. At an 100$ I'll probably still do it. But if they stay at 105$ I think I might walk away. For me, you can't accept something and then turn around and do something else. Like I said, because of this I lost another possible timeshare that would have worked for us to.

There will be plenty more...

Don't they have to sign something when they accept your offer? Now is not the time to renegotiate.

Sounds like they verbally agreed (or someone was confused) and never signed the agreement.

They verbally agreed, I sent my information for the contract. Fidelity then send them the contract to sign. And they decided to renegotiate...

I'd better go back to sleep, I think I've entered some kind of time warp! $65-70 for a 50 point BLT?

 

[goNDmay9]

No time warp. A PP suggested that is what they would offer for the SSR listing. The BLT listing was offered at 95 and the seller is countering at 105. (But I could be mistaken)

 

[stevelee]

this would make me so mad... I would have sent back an offer at $95.01, and told them last and final offer. People should not be allowed to back out after agreeing to the price. I realize it is not more much in the big scheme of things but it is the principal of the deal.

Hopefully it works out for you.

I totally agree, I decided to breath and made an offer at 100$. If they say no. I'll tell them I'm back at 95$ and I would rather walk away than accept 105$. They owe money to Disney right now, so they need to sell.

And it seem I'm out of luck, I just saw a great OKW one, perfect for me. I call and they literally just sold it. I'm really unlucky it seem with this whole thing.

That is awful! Similar thing happened to me a contract came on the market with Fidelity and I offered FULL asking then the buyer decided they were not asking enough - Fidelity basically said there was nothing they could do and they had to relist it at higher price (10.00 PP more) I walked away and the seller actually got MORE then asking so they actually made out with 12.00 more PP. Fidelity did offer to help me find a new contract and actually called me when new ones came in before they were listed (fitting my criteria) I ended up with a better contract for me although I did pay 10.00 more PP but it had 3 years of points along with being my UY so in the end it was a better fit for me. Good luck

They may owe money on the contract and didn't account for the fees they would be paying the real estate company.

Even $105 could be a very good price for a small contract.

Who is paying the Maintenance Fee for the 2013 & 2014 points?

2013 it's them, for 2014 it is us.

 

[Nabas]

2013 it's them, for 2014 it is us.

So you have 1 year of free points.

Considering resale buyers often have to pay MF, I still think $105 is a good price for a 50-point BLT contract. Maybe try for $102?

 

[goNDmay9]

That situation is soooo hard. Definitely go with your gut! If this does not work out, another one will come one soon enough that could be an even better fit. Just check out all the stories here on the dis.

And remember, as cool and exciting as it is to own, you don't need to own to visit and you don't even need to own to stay in a DVC!

Sending good vibes!!

see, I knew I'd better go back to sleep. I reread the thread today, unfogged, and it all was much clearer. I swear I though 5 or 6 posters were telling OP to turn down a 50 point BLT for $83, or to offer $65-70.....I was honestly like "What?!?!"

Ahaha yeah at 70$ / pts for BLT I would have been running to make an offer.

So no news from Fidelity... I guess I won't loose another timeshare twice. Next time I see something else that interesting me I'll make an offer on it.

 

[maarch]

So we are back to square 1

We just lost the BLT, someone made an offer on it at 105$. But frankly at this point I don't even care.

The most frustrating thing is I had made an offer on another timeshare. 100 pts at 76$ / pts. 200 pts in banks from 2012-2013. And 100 coming in December 2014.

The buyer went up to 78$. I asked for 77$ to be in between both offer. By the time we were waiting for the answer ( probably a matter of an hours max ) someone made an offer at asking price.

So it's the second offer we lost, and now on top of that the BLT. I'm getting discouraged by all of this. Specially that last one since I was so close of getting it.
