New to resale purchasing

2 months is reasonable but it depends on the broker (fidelity can take their time), the title agency (magic vacation is notoriously slow), and just dumb luck.

Many people close in 6 weeks. Others take 3 months.
We are with fidelity. Here's hoping for pixie dust.
 
We closed on two contracts through the Summer. One took 2 months, the other took 3 months. It all depends on the parties involved. Our 2 month at BLT went smooth (seller and closing were great), the SSR one took an extra month longer due to a personal situation with the seller and a different closing company that wasn't as great.

You never know until you get into it. Just stay on top of your broker and closing co :)

If I can provide some advice, specifically request https://www.dvcclosings.com/ as your Close/Title partner. They are fantastic.

Congrats on your purchase.
This is good to know. We are using www.dvcclosings.com as our title company.
 
I am sure you have thought of this already but just to be sure, as you were previously looking at a March UY contract, ensure that the Oct UY fits your travel needs. If you normally travel to WDW in summer (idk if most people do this lol) or Sept when points drop, then an Oct UY wouldn't be ideal. But if Christmas is your jam for example then Oct UY works out well.
We travel all times of the year. Our other.points are in April, so this will help balance the year out
 

Good job! You see, you can do it 😂. I also started this journey recently, spending many days - and nights - trawling the internet. I got a good deal on BLT 220 points but seller revealed (after buyers have signed contract and transferred deposit!) they in fact have used up their 2024 points even borrowed from 2025. They were willing to drop $3 per point (my initial offer) but I was just too pissed so we cancelled 😂.

We just got an accepted offer for 270 points at SSR, with 2024 banked and seller paying the MF for them. We are paying $89 per points which we think is fair. We probably could have continued to negotiate further but I was just so over it 😂😂😂.
That's awful they had used the points. I'd be so disappointed in the wasted time. But it looks like you got a good deal after all. I went back and forth on pricing but kept hearing "don't let great be the enemy of good" as someone posted earlier in this thread. 🤣🤣 Just get me to Disney.
