They cost what they cost. What they used to cost doesn't matter!

True. But for a sale, the seller as well as the buyer must agree to a price. And the actual market is a much wider range than any single number. I am targeting the low end of the market. But of course there are people in the middle and at the top, too.

Since I don’t need the points for a while, I have time on my side. And if I don’t find what I like at a price I like, I will consider buying direct instead (as I find the average Polynesian prices after CAF a bit high compared with direct). But someone expediently needing points will want to pay the going rate and get this over with.

I guess what I am saying is you don't need to anchor your expectations to what you paid N years ago, but instead can base it on where the low end of the market is now---and the ROFR thread will pretty much give you that.

Someone buying their first contract is much more likely to pay higher price, as they want/need the points to get booking. VS someone who already have points but want to add on.

Yes. If you want to dig even deeper into this…Influence by Cialdini is a rather fascinating peek into why we buy what we buy when we buy it, and for how much. Probably not new to you in 2026, but when I first read it I was flabbergasted.

Sure but I also don’t need to stay in a 2bed BCV villa every year in a high point season—we have enough points to alternate between BCV and VGF if we need to…but I’ve been having great success inside 7mo using my VGF points at BCV…there is a price I’m willing to pay to save myself a few hours a year of hassle and eliminate the risk of being “stuck” at VGF during a festival season…but it’s nowhere near the price the most enthusiastic buyer will pay and it looks like the majority of my fellow BCV owners aren’t currently motivated to sell at any price.

Its probably a glitch, a lot of https://www.fidelityrealestate.com/ listings fell off.

Woah. Ya, has to be.

A friend of mine made offers on several properties this week with Fidelity. Every time she made an offer she was told that the contract had already sold or was pending. She was really frustrated because several days later the contract would still be listed. Today all of those contracts that her and I worked on have finally dropped off. There are still several listed as available with other brokers that she was told had also sold or were pending. So I believe that number is even lower.

Resort: Polynesian
Asking: $160s
Rejected Offer: $146
Seller countered. Not sure if I’ll counter the counter or just wait.

This doesn’t appear to be a glitch. Riding steady in the low 700s.

Sounds like the number was actually inflated from all of the stale Fidelity listings that were finally taken down.

Will be interesting to see if this level of low inventory keeps up. Could we actually see some significant increases in average resale prices? Inflation continues to affect many other things incur economy - wouldn't be crazy for it affect DVC resale prices. I'm skeptical, but I suppose you never know.

Never underestimate someone’s boredom.

Just loaded them all and counted, they are at 222 on their page. Not sure why they aren’t being picked up. Question for @rferrar1

Posts have been deleted since it was discussing a type of website without the link.

If a website is filtered, you can’t mention it or details from it.

You can post the link and it’s filtered, leave it but nothing else can be said.

We allow people to reference DVCFL without the link at this time because it is not in the boards filter.

Suggesting people google is considered a work around so please don’t do that.

Back up to high 800s.
