Good price for DVC resale contract?

[derekdeibert]

We are in the process of purchasing a DVC resale contract. We are interested in Animal Kingdom, but aren’t sure what we should offer. We already have a DVC at Aulani, so we can purchase add-on through disney at $186 a point. The ones I’ve seen have been going for about $135 a point, which seems a bit overpriced to me. We were looking to purchase 150-200 points. Thoughts?

In the past year resale prices have soared and have gotten much closer to the actually direct price sold by DVC. This is making buying direct a little more attractive than it has in the past, but you will have to evaluate that yourself. $135 to $125 is the going rate right now for AKV on most resale broker websites, but the prices are negotiable.

Make sure you do your research, at least a week or more of reading here on Disboards before you buy.

I think if you are patient and make a lot of offers you can get AKV for $120 pp.

Keep an eye on the ROFR thread and bid just above what Disney is buying back at. Don’t be afraid to negotiate and walk away from a potential sale if the seller won’t move, as there is always another seller around the corner.

Going through a SSR resale purchase right now and that’s what worked for me. Took a few tries with different brokers but after about 3 offers I found the right one.

I'm closing on 200 points at AKV that we got for $120/point. That might be on the lower end of things right now, but they are out there and DVC let it get through ROFR

I’m in the process of ROFR. I am paying 119 for 180 points. Hopefully it goes through. 117 is the highest I’ve seen them take recently. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I think I got a good deal because the 2021 points were stripped and 40 points from 2022 had been used… witch I am perfectly fine with. You can find better deals on stripped contracts if you are okay with that. I wish I would have bought a year ago. They were going for 109. Think I even saw a couple under 100.

I think right now, if you REALLY want a contract a little higher is the way to go. I see that there was an Animal Kingdom that was taken in June for $122. I'm hoping that there was something about that $122 that it made it a better deal for Disney, like maybe the sellers were paying the annual dues

$109 is exactly what I got my AKV for in Jan 2020 on a 100pt contract. Been a nice jump from those prices as of late.

Yes I got lucky I paid 95 dollars for 185 point last year tried to find more but it so much more now. bought a Hilton Head instead for 70 per point for a 50 point contract in the same use year and they work out great together

Thanks for that info. I keep looking up resale sites and see AKL going for 140-160 range but when I looked up the average price people are paying it said much closer to 120. We are not ready yet but didn't want to offend someone if i go to low - I needed to read your words!

Great suggestion. I spent about 3 months on this board (April, May, June) of 2020. Got great info on reputable brokers and as of now, I have 5 contracts. I'm not buying right now because each time I make an offer of 135-140 on an Oct AKV of 50--60 points, the seller is not interested. I'm not paying 160-161 for AKV resale. The firm request of $160 and another near firm of $160 are solid in their demands. Those contracts are still there, too. I don't begrudge anyone for wanting their price, but it can't come from me. I think I was initiated in buying with AKV at 100, SSR passing at 89-98, OWK at 101, ( all for small contracts of 100 or less) etc. It ruined it for me. LOL
