Your comment is JUST as irresponsible as saying you will make a killing reselling in 20 years ( but if you look at the history of DVC that would be closer to historical performance)
You see the 7-month charts just like I do - Buy where you want to stay when you have school-aged kids
I don't see it that way. I am sharing with a potential buyer what the current rules are and what is a potential to happen down the road. There are a lot of posters who really do not understand all the changes happening and what is and is not possible.
Saying to someone BLT resale may..I used the word may... not be worth more in 20 years is simply a true statement. Just like no one knows whether RIV will or will not hold its value if more resorts are restricted.
We simply can't predict what will happen to the resale market in the future with a changing product. . You will find that my advice has, and always is, that I do not believe resale value should be part of the equation because it is too much of an unknown.
As I said, my response wasn't to the OP...but I will always give clear information to a buyer to make the decisions for themselves.
But I definitely do not believe anyone should shy away from any resort they are considering based on resale value, regardless of historical performance, or not. If one loves BLT, buy it. If one loves RIV, buy it. If one has no care to own unrestricted points and is okay finding other ways to stay at the new resorts, assuming DVD doesn't reverse course on restrictions, go for it.
But, helping people understand the what ifs is not fear. Many don't think of some of the information I, and others share. And the OP did ask for information regarding other resorts, so they obviously wanted information to help them in their decision and choosing BLT, based on what has happened with ROFR, was no longer the only option they were considering.
