So. Now that we have updated numbers, what is the best SAP/SAP+?

The replacement cost esitmate at RIV is higher, but I haven't dug into the budget breakdown yet--partly it is higher because more Vacation Homes were declared into the condominium. And materials feeds into that, but only partly. Materials accounts for about 2/3 of new construction vs. labor, but I have no idea how that compares to maintenance (I suspect the labor-to-materials ratio is higher in renovation?)

The five largest componetns of Dues at RIV, in order, are:

Housekeeping: $2.23/pt, (4.8% increase)
Property Taxes: $1.98, (flat, but 2025's estimate was low)
Capital Reserves: $1.15 (3.4%)
Transportation: $0.99 (9.9%)
Front desk/admin: $0.93 (9.7%)

Housekeeping and Front desk are pretty much all labor. Transportation and Reserves are part labor, part equipment/materials.

FYI, DVC has stated on numerous occasions that about 75% of all operating expense categories combined are wages and benefits.

If you are buying resale now, then most likely CCV still since it went up less than SSR and BLT
If you are buying direct now, probably Poly (or VGF 2 years ago if you have a time machine)

So, do we think that it will still be, what, 2 years yet until everyone is over $10?

I've only been an owner for a few years now, but even in that short time, there used to be quite a few resorts in the $7's. Now there's officially none.

Housekeeping - 16,99% increase
Ad valorem taxes - 11,03% increase
Administration and Front Desk - 10,51% increase
Income Taxes - 10,40% increase
Transportation - 9,86% increase
Management Fee - 8,32% increase

I think honestly now people should really only be buying SAP+ not SAP.

Im going to say CCV is the best value of all, beating out AUL Sub. The only caveat would be if you plan to go to Aulani every year or every other year.

This is when you do some Disney Math.

I only pay $7.45 for half of a point at Vero

Yes I couldn't believe CCV is still lower than AUL-S.

I would still rather have AUL for the home advantage though knowing that I should still be able to get something at WDW at 7 months.

I've read somewhere the property was recently appraised over $1G.

[Tatebeck]

[DisneyMountainWoman]

CCV had a lower increase % but AUL-S still has lower dues. $9.02 CCV vs $8.24 Aul-S

thanks!!

So AUL-S is still the lowest then by a slim margin

CCV Increases by Category

Housekeeping, Transportation, Maintenance, and Property Taxes are the standout increases to me. Admin/Front Desk relatively modest increase. Utilities and Insurance both saw nice decreases.

I’m also waiting to mooch off other peoples hard work and see the overall % updated for each resort on this website.

Yep. $8.24 AUL S, then VGF at $8.32

 

[VGCgroupie]

Seriously though what’s VGF secret to staying so low?
