Is a Sept UY rare?

[kapeman]

Just curious because it seems there aren't that many resales contracts that have Sept as the beginning of the UY.

 

[spiceycat]

no - you will see one if you kept looking long enough.

or just another uy if you find the right amount of points. You can kept up with them - just use a excell worksheet.

or Caskbill's program

We have a master and add-on for Sept. Last year we sold two Sept add-ons.

As rare as an empty bus at SSR.

I bought a small BWV contract last year but had to look for about 4 months. I also bought a small AKV contract with a June use, that seemed harder to find. I think it's all luck of the draw.

I have a June use year and do not see many at all for that month, especially smaller ones like I have.

Logic would mandate that there must be an equal number of points in each UY in order to maintain balance in the system. I suspect it's required by law but that may be a stretch.

I assume the above to be a fairly true accessment of how the system must be set up.

Having said that, I get an e-mail from Jamie at TSS every day, sometimes twice a day. I used to think there were hardly ever any June UYs for sale but I've noticed that they come and go. My gut tells me that it's probably relative to the beginning and endings of UYs and that there's probably a pattern to the madness. For example, more UYs get sold right after they renew each year than are made available near the end of a UY. I don't know that particular one to be true, I'm just using it as an example.

It would be an interesting analysis project for a senior thesis in applied mathematics but I just haven't had enough inclination to want to dig to find out myself. My mathematical training tells me there has to be a system inside the chaos but it's just not interesting enough to make analysis worthwhile as I doubt many people would really care at the end of the day.

We have two contracts, both with a Sept use year.

Ditto for us.

When we wanted to add on (twice now) we just called our guide, told her that we would wait if need be, and yet we were able to get the Sept. uy at OKW within a month.

 

[goofeydec]

UY on my contract is sept. (Has to be the only rare thing i have if they are)

 

[DisneyHumbug]

I have Sept.

No one really knows how DVC allocates UYs, since some months do not have a UY. With Sept. not having an “open” month next to it, it is possible that there are less (if the other months with an open month UY next to them each get ½ of this allocation, but even if this was the case it would not be “rare” just only 2/3 as many as its adjacent months.

I have always thought there seemed like less Sept. resales and wondered the same question. Absolutely no data to support this.

 

[Mtnman44]

This may be a stretch, but is Oct thru Dec the heaviest-demand DVC season? If so, Sept would be an ideal UY for those that travel during this period. Is it possible that makes a higher demand and hence, less available for sale at any given time?

so do we!!
