June 2025 Direct Sales Numbers In

[Sandisw]

Interesting thoughts. My mind immediately went to someone who has so much money, they don't care about a $250k+ purchase price and $15k+ in annual dues. But, then I think to myself, if you have so much money, that those numbers are basically meaningless to you, why would you be buying a timeshare in the first place instead of just paying for what you want every year.

Could be as a gift to family? But, on the other hand, how does that compare to the purchase of a vacation home in the area?

It might get someone quite a bit of vacation time at Disney in all types of room sizes.

Certainly a large contract!!

to be fair, that could be said about a, not so small, number of people in these forums regardless of how much money they have.

It’s still cheaper than a Golden Oaks house.

My ex's brother is a serial startup-CFO, who has had a couple of successful exits. This is him, to a T. They go to WDW several times a year, typically stay in either Deluxe or DVC rooms, and have the cash to buy, but have never considered DVC.

It looks like townhomes in Windsor Hills are going north of $400K, plus it does not come with the headaches of managing a vacation home. You can get something for less, but it would be out a ways.

(Said ex-BIL also had a vacation home on the OBX for a few years. He ended up selling because it was more hassle than it was worth.)
