DVC Rental

This shocks me too As someone who uses these places to rent my points, I have seen the prices I am being paid take a complete nosedive. We used to get $16 per point. Then it went to $18. Now I am getting emails that they want to give me $12 per point! I rented my points out for the year already for $16 and was happy with that. No way would I do $12 unless I was absolutely desperate.

I think they are having a problem renting so advertising lower rental rates. The problem is most sellers will not rent that low. That are paying $12-14 pp for 11 months out for several resorts. You can easily rent for $18pp on Facebook groups.

Realistically, there should be some spread between what the rental brokers pay out and what you can secure privately, because the broker handles both advertising as well as running interference between the renter (who may have zero idea how all of this works) and the owner. And given that private rentals here are going for 17-18, 12 is probably too low, but not completely insane.

The real question for me is how much the drop in broker payouts is due to softening demand, and how much an increase in supply. There have been a lot of people talking about buying to rent for the last year or two...
