rundisney79---$100-$54775-500-BWV-Feb-500/17, 500/18, 500/19, 0/20- sent 4/10, taken 4/27

Sorry, @rundisney79. That was a terrific price for a loaded contract.

I thought BWV was going to be the next purchase? :-D

See above. I have a mental block about appropriate pricing for BWV and BCV because they are now (have been) the most expensive DVC to own given the prices they're selling for and the length of time on the contracts. I do love BWV, but we will take our chances at 7mo for our late-August vacations, I suppose. Also the current plan (since February worked so well) is to split stay at the Swolphin on SPG points with one of our MK resorts. Saves us some DVC points and uses up some of the SPG points we have accumulated this year. True, we are "only" getting a hotel room at Swolphin, but I didn't really pay money for those points. (I did, but that was money that would have been spent on the things I spent them on anyway.)

I’m 3weeks 2 days for my OKW contract as well! I too am feeling it’s a loss! Good luck to you.. I also am thinking of a different resort next.

Day 27 and my OKW is still pending. We tried AKV the last time and it got taken at day 21. I really wish I would just get a response so I can move on to the next try.

Unofficially, I think you can move on. No guarantees, but this one is probably gone. I’m sorry. Good news is that you are free to scour the resale sites for another listing! Hopefully, I’m wrong about this, and you get a pleasant surprise!

You have 10 days to pull out of a contract as the buyer in Florida - you technically could move on and make a contract, and then break it if the outcome doesn't come as expected. Not necessarily the nicest thing to do to the sellers though. But maybe if one has been sitting anyways....

Our 1st accepted offer and DVC purchase! I don't have high hopes that it will pass though, based on this thread. We will see, maybe I'll get beginner's luck!

Yeah, not really nice to do. Sometimes you just have to be patient. For me I consider it unethical to make a contract that you only plan to fulfill if something else doesn't work out.

I’m not going to comment on the merits of this, but I do think it happens a lot. You frequently see contracts go as “sale pending” only to return to “available” just a few days later. Other reasons could be at play, but I think this happens more than we think!

Nice find! I hope you manage to sneak this time traveling offer from Fall 2017 past the mouse.

Passed at day 20!! Now I have 2 in closing and will be taking some time off of buying. Unless of course that ideal contract shows up as I tell my DW.

Yay!!! Congrats! Good price for AKV now. Maybe they’re finally moving on from Dec UY there!

Agree that BWV/BCV prices are crazy! My BCV is in ROFR right now and it sold for way more than I thought I could get (I’ll post the details here once it passes). I loved my stay at the Swan and I would totally stay there if I had SPG points!! While you don’t get the 1/2-BR, the rooms are nicer.

So glad to see someone getting news today. Congrats!!

Yeah, I agree. I wouldn't do it myself. The engineer in me just can't help but point out all the options.

Where do you find what the current direct sale price is for dvc. I'm specifically looking at BLT. Thanks.

*Wonders if you are the one selling to me, as I am in ROFR on BCV*
