For general average sale price I do like that DVC Resale Market posts their averages. While that can be skewed based on contract sizes they do high volume so a lot of that gets averaged out.
We’ve been looking to add at CCV or PVB, and the contracts for sale don’t really seem to match the deals people are getting in the ROFR thread. I’m seeing CCV at $135-145 and PVB at $140-150 in the ROFR thread, but listings are more in the range of $150-170 for CCV and $150-180 for PVB.
Is demand this high right now that its pushing the prices up this much? In the past the ROFR thread has been a pretty good guage of what to pay, but I’m making offers and getting told the price is firm or the sellers will only drop the price a couple of dollars max. I probably just need to be more patient for a good deal, but it seems like the prices are on a steady upwards path.
We submitted an offer at asking ($146 for 150 points at CCV) in early February. We could have tried to negotiate but it was a great contract for us.Aren’t you just seeing the difference between the asking price and the selling price?
Price is negotiable.
Nope, we made a whole bunch of offers and i had trouble getting anywhere close to the pricing folk post in the ROFR thread.Aren’t you just seeing the difference between the asking price and the selling price?

There are a couple of agencies that are trying to push prices up. If you go elsewhere you find more reason.Nope, we made a whole bunch of offers and i had trouble getting anywhere close to the pricing folk post in the ROFR thread.
I’m less concerned about Disney actually taking the contract, as we are looking for CCV which doesnt really get taken, I’m more concerned with getting a deal in the ballpark of the other recent deals posted.
We actually did sign a contract on a 200 point contract at $140/pt. Just waiting for it to go to Disney for ROFR. We were really only looking for 150 points but felt the need to grab the deal while it was available.
I do wonder what sites these lower point contracts are coming from. https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/listings/ seems pretty high at times and their small contracts are all "Firm and Full Price Offers Only". Maybe it's because I'm only looking at smaller contracts?My experience has gone like this...... I shop around many of the websites. I offer something reasonable. Most recent purchase was VGF (listed at $180, I offer $170). Agent says no #$%^ way... THEN, I see on rofr VGF contracts going for $150-$155 and I'm like.... *** ???? so frustrating

Although the ROFR thread is nice, I also think there is some pressure that people always want to prove they got the "best" deal and post it on there. So this leads to people buying at a price that seems higher that the ROFR thread and not posting since they didn't get the "best" deal, or it would not shock me if a few of the listing (go ahead and flame away) are not shall we say 100% accurate.
That being said there are as always deals to be had, sometimes it's just a matter of luck.
Sounds like the same message I received on a very similar (maybe same) contract. Found out today that the contract I offered on is “investor owned“ and they won’t negotiate more than $2 per point. Makes sense to me because the only way to get around the 50% borrowing rule is to transfer out the points to another contract. We are in AUG ‘20 UY currently, so there should be 75 points remaining in the AUG ‘21 UY with the borrowing rule. Sort of irks me that the transferring gets around the 50% rule.Just in case OP wants a reference point since they mentioned PVB, our very first DVC offer got turned down. Contract was for 150 points, with no points coming until Aug 2022. OP had listed at $156, we negotiated a bit and offered $146 and were prepared to go up a few dollars more, but no go--seller's agent said they were firm at $154.
Maybe it's because it is a new listing, or maybe prices really are that high right now, but we're going to take a wait and see approach and try making offers for a month or two before I decide if we're unreasonable to want to pay under $150. Famous last words, but I think we are better off waiting, at least until we see actual sales consistently above that price for our point range.
I am tracking most of these but one was new. Thank you!One that is blocked from The Dis Board is really pushy. These are my go to sites.

Haha, probably was the same thing. Feel bad for their broker--that has to be annoying that they won't negotiate meaningfully.Sounds like the same message I received on a very similar (maybe same) contract.

www.fidelityresales.com often has the best pricing on resale contracts - at least, that has been my experience so far.I do wonder what sites these lower point contracts are coming from. https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/listings/ seems pretty high at times and their small contracts are all "Firm and Full Price Offers Only". Maybe it's because I'm only looking at smaller contracts?
I have my eye on a contract that I want - not only will the owner not come down from his sky high price; his listing has been out there for months; longer than any others for the resort on the site.Haha, probably was the same thing. Feel bad for their broker--that has to be annoying that they won't negotiate meaningfully.
On the lack of 2021 points, I think it was likely because they were planning a vacation (or renting out their points) sometime after August 1, 2021 (the contract had a "can close after" date in November--my guess was they have a reservation for the anniversary in Oct).
