Not ROFR thread - general discussion

There is a DVC resale site that states in their FAQ on Closing Costs that "buyers cannot negotiate asking for the selling to pay or share in the cost of these fees.
I am going to guess that this is a broker that handles a fair volume of stuff that they themselves own via a buy-strip-flip operation, and they have a not-at-arms-length closing company. So, this is a way to help maintain their revenue, because the closing company is also in some sense the seller.
 
Tons of small cross listed Aulani contracts showing up today. Might be a good time to get one if you wanted one.
I noticed those. Highly unusual activity!
I know people have already pointed out the slight influx of stripped contracts at certain resorts, but I am starting to be persuaded that this is related to the recent change in perception of rentals.

It seems the cross posted listings now pretty much all a broker we cant talk about (who is a suspected commercial renter of their own contracts) and then its cross posted to Fidelity with no agent attached to the listing, so it seems unnamed broker maybe made some sort of deal w/ Fidelity to advertise their listings. If anyone bids I would be super curious to see who responds to the offer if it was made via Fidelity.
 

Yep I have never bid with them since they are almost always overpriced at the get go
I recently made a reasonable (if somewhat aggressive) offer and they didn’t even counter.

I tend to assume the brokers who lobby hard to list (and hold out) at above market prices have their own significant contracts that they are using for profit.
 
After striking a deal recently and getting denied having closing costs covered by the seller, I wondered if there are tax benefits for the seller to cover the closing costs instead of giving up price on the actual points. Wouldn't that allow the seller to report less income on the sale?

I have not and do not plan to sell any time soon thus I haven't thought enough into it.
 
Doing a little more digging, it appears that language is (at least) here:

They might be associated with a strip mining operation, but they also discourage renting, so maybe not?

Yes, that is the resaler that I saw the info on not being able to negotiate closing costs. I have not purchased or made an offer through them so don't know if they uphold that guideline or not. It's interesting they say they won't allow it when it sounds like it's allowed everywhere else.

I’ve purchased a few contracts through them.

It’s kind of nice to not have an agent you to need to go through.
 
Update on the trip with the 7 year old who loves crafts: we have ridden two rides in total. People Mover and Carousel of Progress. We met the Fab Five for lunch (this was a big hit!). And now we are crafting at a Community Hall. I think it’s her dream vacation itinerary.😆

I highly recommend bringing an umbrella and a big hat to keep the sun off here; it is strong! The umbrella really helps. We want to stay in the No Skin Cancer gang.

Going to Lightning Lane Tiana’s tonight, and hopefully I can convince the kid to do a few more rides, including Tiki Room (a classic). lol. It isn’t how I usually plan to do Disney, but it is much more relaxing than my usually go go go style!
Which community hall did you go to?? I have a little crafter as well!
 
Bay Lake Tower!
Oops, if I had kept reading before replying I would’ve seen that! Trying to get caught up on this thread after having a newborn 😅 I’m so happy to know BLT has a community hall! We just spontaneously put an offer on a BLT contract and had it accepted (we had never even considered it for a contract before) and that info has me even happier about the decision.
