this is based on the biannual
DVC Resale Market analysis ...
https://www.dvcresalemarket.com/blog/best-economical-dvc-resort-to-purchase-spring-2020/expanding on this, if you buy where you want to stay, the
point charts of each resort have an impact on value of your points when you turn them into a resort stay
said another way, what's the most economical DVC purchase in terms of total cost per week (assuming one per year) for the rest of the life of the resort?
for example, if you want one week every Oct in a deluxe studio - standard, you will need
129 points at
PVB but only
85 points at
OKW; so while
PVB points resale may be the most economical in terms of cost per point for the full life (DVC Resale Market analysis), when you translate that to home resort stays it comes in third to last for resale, only losing to
BRV and
BCV
if you plan to sleep at many different resorts and not use the 11-8 month booking window, this analysis doesn't really apply to you and you should use the DVC Resale Market analysis (
PVB is the best)
assumptions:
limited to Walt Disney World resorts
2020 real valuation (how many 2020 USD do I need to spend in all future years)
dues will roughly grow at the same rate leaving the relative dues cost between resorts unchanged (not perfect but no better information)
the 2021
point chart is reflective of the future point charts (again not perfect but better than assuming 2020 chart)
ranked based on 2021 season C (May 1 - Jun 10, Oct 1 - Nov 23, Nov 27 - 30) as Oct seems to be pretty popular with DVC folks
compared deluxe studio - standard, 1 bedroom - standard, 2 bedroom - standard, 3 bedroom - preferred as most resorts have them; added RVA tower studios for information (though not comparable to deluxe studios)
at the end of the current resort life, the value goes to zero (contractually this is what will happen but things may change?)
RVA and CCV 200 point costs were based on the promotion ending 28 Apr 2020 (not sure what it will be going forward)
RVA resale 129 USD / point is based on the simple average of three deeds (not weighted)
109 USD / point - 1 May 2020 deed 412 points for 45,000 USD
144 USD / point - 3 May 2020 deed 125 points for 18,000 USD
135 USD / point - 8 May 2020 deed 100 points for 13,500 USD
how is this useful? it's another view folks can take into consideration when evaluating if a DVC purchase makes sense for them; if you follow them mantra of buy where you want to stay, this will have more value to you
interesting tidbits
OKW, SSR, and AKV compete for the most economical resorts in all categories in both direct and resale
there is significant overlap between direct and resale in the middle (for different resorts; A resale vs. B direct)
BCV suffers significantly from the short time frame (similar to DVC Resale Market's analysis)
PVB goes from best to third to worst (when looking at resale, deluxe studio - standard, in Oct 2021+)

tower studios
