RIV increases by category.

Admin/Front Desk, Maintenance, Transportation are the standout increases to me. Modest increase to capital reserves. Property taxes have a small decrease, but makes sense given how much they overpaid in 2025. Utilities decrease similar to CCV.

Welp. These numbers have not deterred me from my addonitis bug with RIV unfortunately gosh darnit

I am just annoyed... cause inflation rate was going down for a while... lowest 2.3% and now we are at 3% inflation rate and it looks like most of these are way above the inflation rate... shouldn't they be around the inflation rate? These big jumps made more since to me when inflation was higher.... are they factoring inflation going up even more because of various economic trends like tariffs, etc...

I think I know the answer to this, but would a dues increase like this up the amounts brokers might be willing to pay you to rent your points? I think the answer is no because I suspect that is driven much more by rack rates, although presumably increases in dues also generally correlate with increases in rack rates. Just a question that has crossed my mind thinking about all this.

Is that one billion? sorry not sure what the "G" stands for

Yes, over 1 billion

My crystal ball says we will see it by Thursday this week

Popping my collar on this one

 

[mort1331]

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

so if they do a reassessment like they have before,,maybe not so much next year.
Dame refurbs,,,should have left them

Glad to see VGF has remained relatively low compared to other resorts.

My theory is that the high-paying cash side of this resort helps offset maintenance and staff fees considerably. And the fact it’s not spread out into many separate buildings.

 

[UrsulaWantsYourSoul]

I usually plan for 5% increase. Apparently I should plan for 6-7+ and potentially be delighted. “6-7”.

 

[VGCgroupie]

BWV did us well

Well as I am adding up my dues. I thought BWV was better for me % wise. But CCV was the winner for me when you look at just overall cents more per point. Loving my CCV more and more. And to think CCV was my very first newbie contract. Too bad it's only 100 points.

My resorts
CCV .53
BWV .61
AUL.63
VGC .72
VDH .72

I will update the top with all the dues in just a bit.

So far I am seeing it wasn’t just Aulani with big increases. How’s that sub looking now naysayers. Hahaha. I kid.

VGF looking real good right now

Those VGF firesale points are the gift that just keeps giving

 

[TheThousandthSoul]

Wow,,,SSR 47% more for taxes,,whats up with that....for me it totals about $23 more per month,,still not selling,,,maybe renting,,,hmm

The 47% increase is for Income Taxes, but the Ad Valorem Taxes is only an 11% increase. Phew!

Still jealous that they happened before my time.

Now how’d they get a photo of Derek in his retirement?

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

Higher point chart I think.

Take a DVC studio for example. The combined cost of housekeeping, front desk, towels, linens, supplies, pool, transportation, etc are probably very similar across resorts, and make up a large portion of the dues. Say this stuff costs roughly $80 a night. If a resort averages 14pts a night for a studio, $5.71 of the dues will need to cover it. A resort with 18pts/nt average will only need $4.44 of the dues to cover it.

Plenty of other things affect dues too, but this helps offset many of them. Like the more points that share maintaining a roof, the lower dues/pt needed to cover it. Budget components vary across resorts, like one landscaping bill might be much higher or lower than average. Overall though, having higher than average points needed per night helps to dilute shared costs.

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 surprised Capital Reserves didn't increase more after just performing the soft goods refurb.
