I'll take a stab at your question but there are others here who are much more knowledgable than me that will hopefully chime in.
I think a lot of it depends on where you own and how many points you have banked or currently available. It seems like BCV and BWV are hot right now, with WLV very close if not right there with them. If you have banked points, and your current year's points available, you'll get a little more out of your contract. If your contract is "stripped"(you've used pretty much all your points, including the current year's) you will probably have to settle for less.
I'm sure I'm a little off on this, but it seems like I"ve seen everywhere from $65 a point to $70 a point recently. I think you pay around 10% commission to your broker, but I'm not positive on this.
Hope others will chime in and give you more advice---that's terrible about your jobs! I hope you both find even BETTER ones quickly!
Good luck!
