Hard time deciding how many points we truly need.

This makes me wonder if there would be a savvy person out there who knows the rules and real estate law well enough to break into the DVC sales market at a discount/savings vs others. When my agent sold my home years ago, I asked why 3% on both sides, and the answer was, that's just how it has been. It didn't take too much effort to get that down to 4.5% total and the house sold with no issues quickly.

Perhaps 9.25% made sense when most of these contracts were selling for barely 5 figures but with most now well above that perhaps someone can leverage technology/automation to run a lean/high volume service for a bit less. No clue what I'm talking about, but just like 3% makes sense when homes are 100k but not as much when they are 500k+, perhaps some opportunity is out there and offer a tiered % based on the sales price of the contracts.

I do know when I was buying and selling at the same time with one broker, they lowered my rate for selling down to, IIRC, 5%.

Today, while my husband was working, I sent him a message with a link to pictures of the Copper Creek refurbished rooms. Instead of commenting on that...he responds back with...

"I’m not going to look at the Disneyland hotel before we visit because I don’t want to get excited."

I asked what he was talking about because he's already seen tons of pictures and videos. And he said -
"Yes. But the more I look at them the more I want to own there."

Uh oh.

He's more of an impulsive person that I am, so I will have to really keep him from immediately wanting to purchase VDH points if he ends up loving it in person in December.

I really think we need to wait until we stay in a 1-bedroom at VGC next June before deciding what to do for our future purchase. But I do feel that the more time that passes...the more interested he seems in VDH. Honestly, a bit surprising to me. Because that tropical vibe I get from the pictures/videos really isn't his type of style at all. This is a man who absolutely hates palm trees, for example.
