On the matter of what's happening in the market... in searching for a contract 1-2 weeks ago, I had multiple brokers tell me:
- They are seeing a lot more traffic on their website, but fewer actual offers.
- They've had several very low offers ... like $60 pp for Aulani, for example (made me feel better about my $80 pp offer). But sellers aren't biting on those yet.
I think a lot of us on the boards are hungry for a great deal and would snap up certain resorts if prices dropped a bit. I wonder how many of those buyers there actually are, because that would hold up the price floor for a little while if/when things really start to drop.
For my part, I entered the market as a buyer looking for a great deal, and ultimately settled on what I would call a "good" deal, though certainly not a steal. But then again I decided I "needed" more points for big trips next April and June, so the clock was ticking I couldn't afford to wait to see what happens later this year. I think those that are more patient will come out ahead in the long run!
