Welcome Home Neighbor! My AKV contract also passed at 125 (a bit higher than "Covid" prices, but it was the right size & use year, and also had loaded points in 2021).
CONGRATS!
When are you targeting your first visit, and are you going Jambo or Kidani ??

 

[DisneyMomMom2018]

$125-$13,985-107 AKV- 0/21, 107/22 sent 3/24 passed 4/20 we can close til January but I’m happy we passed
Feb UY

Thank you, neighbor @E2ME2!

Yep I knew the price was a bit high (my last contract, right before that, was $106 on a loaded 220 AKV but that got taken) but I didn't want to risk ROFR anymore and it had become slim-pickin's. I just want to get my points and get planning!

We are hoping to go this summer and I'll take whichever one of the two has space! Maybe at Jambo to be close to the Mara but I haven't stayed at Kidani yet.

Awesome
Enjoy either one - we did a split stay Jambo/Kidani in 2017, and we like both. I give the edge to Jambo overall for the Lobby/Restaurants/Pool - but that extra bathroom in Kidani was nice also. No wrong choice

I got a couple of AKL contracts in ROFR now, but don't have much confidence about passing . We will see

Due to a perfect storm of circumstances getting my closing documents (emailed version went into spam folder, paper version was delivered to my neighbor's house who was out of town on vacation, title company sent me the seller's documents and sent the seller the buyer's documents), the process to close is going to take a lot longer than planned. The impact is we are going to reach the 7 month booking window ahead of my planned trip and availability is going to likely evaporate before I can use the points. I'm considering asking the seller to make a reservation in my name before continuing towards closing. Has anyone ever done this? Do reservations transfer membership accounts when the contract closes, or does DVC cancel any existing reservations upon sale?

 

[Rebs007]

Did you have an addendum?

Not that I am aware of. It is my son in Australia that is buying it, I am in the UK. I have just messaged him to get back in touch with the broker to see if there is a problem. I know the seller had not paid the 2020 dues as they couldn't bank the points when requested. I'm not sure is this complicates things as I would assume these would be paid on closure. The problem is that the longer it takes the lower his offer of $108 per point seems against current sales prices so the more likely it will get taken. Back at the beginning of March this was not the case! And until he hears he can't do anything but sit and watch the prices rise.

Unfortunately with the inventory so low everywhere there really aren’t deals to be had right now. It’s way cheaper than direct so I don’t think you are overpaying but it’s not a steal either.

WHen is the typical high/low inventory and can we use the typicals anyway post COVID?

Oops, too many contracts, updated the wrong one! haha

Congratulations. I think we have been going through our first AKL DVC purchase at the same time. I felt for you when they took your first attempt, I thought you were unlucky to have the loaded AKL taken then, though things have really changed in just a month! I Hope you manage to get something booked for the summer for your first stay as a DVC owner. I may be there in September if the US/UK travel corridor opens up.

Disney will cancel all reservations prior to closing.

**Update** We're selling our 100 BLT points to get a bigger contract elsewhere. While that one was sent to ROFR first, we've heard back on the one we're buying today, hooray!

The way it was explained to me from Jamie at the DVCStore was that any existing reservations will be cancelled when Disney physically changes the ownership of the contract. I'm kind of in a similar situation. My VGC currently under ROFR had 150 banked points from 2019 that are expiring in June of 2021. I knew I wasn't going to be able to close before then so I asked the seller via the broker if they could book a staycation for me for 3 nights at the Aulani for May. I provided all my guest information and the seller booked it for me. I had to put in a deposit but that will eventually go toward my final payment of the contract so it wasn't any loss for me. And if Disney were to take the contract, I would be refunded full. Not sure if this helps but doesn't hurt to ask your broker, whoever you're working with.

congrats! btw, what UY is your BLT contract?

 

[Theta]

When a contract passes/fails ROFR does the buyer get notified by an email from the broker or the title agency?

 

[Nie0214]

congrats! btw, what UY is your BLT contract?

October--my advice to anyone asking about buying into DVC is not to get an Oct UY, haha. So hard to find resales. (We have a small # of AKV direct that grandfathers us into the blue card so we are sticking with the Oct UY.)

I hear you about OCT UY but now we’re all in
