People are still buying 2042s...VB in the 2042 lead for the month?!?
I bought a CCV that has a March date on the deed, but closed in April. I wonder which month it would appear on this.

 

[VGCgroupie]

I really just cant imagine the reasoning behind buying VB direct. I mean the only thing I can think of is they are wealthy and really love VB? Baffling

Typically, 10-14 days from time of closing until the deed shows up on the country comptroller website.
Sometimes Disney or the county can get things done faster/slower, but those are not very often.

PVB looking strong….

Cheapest direct points.

 

[VGCgroupie]

Cheapest direct points.

Are they though when there is no incentives on them? (I do not know what they price is per point)

Yes, perhaps at least unless they do another fire sale like the VGF sellout bonanza.

$150 per point

VGF selling 42 contracts at around 100 points each…. no incentives….

I believe VGF is continuing a decent pace in May. I noticed a FW 52 2BR. IIRC, 835 points for this single deed. Guessing it may skew May per contract higher.

It’s funny because at one point in time under 100k for a resort in a month wasn’t considered that good.

IMO, it’s why I think the strategy that DVD seems to have embraced, with incentives in sold out resorts, is having lots of options vs just one!

And raise the price even if you are selling less points as long as you can rent out via cash.

It seems crazy and I even said something similar with the report last month, but when I price PVB and VGF direct, especially a small contract, it's not that much different. It just really hurts comparing it to 2023 prices.

I have also been adding $20 per UY to all the stripped resale VGF contracts I see and it pushes the price closer to that $265

Fascinating! All these buybacks must be in the original building to have enough to deed something big like that. I wonder what deluxe studio weeks are still open?

Good call on original building. Unit 2A for this 835 point deed

 

[eticketplease]

$150 per point, but the minimum add-on is 100 points.

Did that change? It used to be 25 minimum

I believe the favorite weeks in the original building have to come from those units and vice versa with the resort studios and Big Pine Key? Either that or DVD just didn't want to sell the bigger rooms at the lower sale prices.

OH maybe the 100 is for a new member buying VB

I think it's still removed from the add-on tool so I can't check!

 

[eticketplease]

Yes I reported it back when it was lowered several years ago when they switched the new member minimum to 100 but most resorts have a minimum add on at 25 until CCV came around I believe and then it switched to 50. PVB might be back to 50 now with the PIT.
