Crystal Ball: Where do you see resale prices going for rest of 2025?

Maybe now is the time to panic sell contracts!

I was going through county deeds today and couldn’t figure out why so many were from mid-February. (Two months ago). It dawned on me, county deeds showing up recently are likely from purchases after the new incentives were announced on Feb. 11. This was the first time PVB included the buyback option.

Good indication that monthly county sales data will not reflect everything that has happened since April 2.

Makes me more curious what Disney and the resales brokers are seeing.

Would be nice to see even better incentives for direct next week.

Having taken a few months mostly off and just joining back,

I think it’s pretty transparent that prices are falling and will fall more.

As always, some resorts won’t fall as much or even at all for reasons owing as much to randomness as anything, like how Poly, VGF, VGC and AKV have all at times in the last 5 years had their inventory kind of randomly pinched, sending prices up.

How much will they fall? Very hard to tell. My baseline estimate is maybe 10% more than they have?

As I’ve said in the past, I think Riviera eventually settles around wherever SSR is trading at the time, and VB goes sub $30, those seem likely to happen this year.

By the way my next resort specific predictions are that VDH settles in the $120s or less and that Poly falls at least another 15% from where it is, maybe more.

(If it goes sub-$120 I will probably add on )

Wow, $120 or less seems like a really good deal for VDH. Never been to DL, but I really like the look and nostalgia of VDH from what I can tell. I guess the restrictions and room tax are really affecting it.

I know that when we have visited Canada we always get ribbed a little by Canadian customs and asked if we are bringing in cigarettes…. but going back into the US is always so much more of a pain.

Canada has rejected counterparts of mine at the boarder, I have also experienced delayed entry through excess questions. I and those that I know have never had issues entering the US (both those from the US and those from outside the US).

We all have our own priority entry documentation though Global Entry/Nexus.

I know the news is going hard after US boarder control right now but honestly I typically find they are one of the best out there. Go to the Caribbean where they policy is "you will get in to the country sometime today" as they have lines so long it can go back out the building in places like Turks.

RIV will stay above the bottom tier of DVC both because of the quality of resort and the contract length. Heck we are 1-2 years out and SSR will have higher MFs and OKW is already more expensive by like $2/point (this is where SSR is going because of all the individual buildings).

RIV going down means OKW/SSR are going to be that much further reduced.

OKW/SSR/AKV/BRV -- RIV/BWV -- BCV/BLT/CCV -- POLY/VGF

That is roughly the tiers with BRV/BWV/BCV being the "movers" long term as they will age out so have less value as the contract length shrinks.

When I say settles at I mean when it has enough contracts for sale to be reasonably available across use years and contract sizes, so maybe 2029?

The two DVC resale products are basically entirely unrelated other than both being at WDW. I don’t see one putting pressure on the other.
