Waiting on SSR. I’ve seen a few resorts passing with 4/5 or 4/6 send dates, but no SSR or BRV yet.....
The suspense is killing me. Other BRV passed at 20 and 21 days. SSR contracts seemed to pass every day for awhile there. You'd think with so few contracts out there now , it would not take so long.

I was totally expecting 21 days in ROFR, and around 60 til I had points reading this thread and the closing time thread. Now I feel like I’d better adjust my expectations to more like 90 days ... 🙁

I feel ya. Mine were sent on 3/26 and still waiting. I'm almost to the point of locking away my phone because I'm checking my email too much!
 
I noticed I didn't want BLT when I looked at the resales for 132-133 a point about 6 months ago. Fast forward: stayed at BLT with my OKW pts in March. Been scouting for a March BLT since. Could not find anything in the 140-150 not taken. Now: $161 was the best I could get with a March. Tired of waiting. Took it. It's $161, so Disney will let me have it, no doubt. And it's stripped, but they don't want $161. :)

I was the same with a March UY. I saw a 200pt contract listed for $167. I eventually settled for $163pp which I think will pass. Been in ROFR since 4/14. March UY is hard to come by for any contract it seems.

Agree about March UY contracts for any resort being hard to find. I think they go for higher prices because there are so few of them.

I'm wondering if they're holding them for longer because there are so few contracts out there. With fewer contracts to snag to fill requests for direct purchases, they might be holding them longer to have a selection on hand.

What did you like about it? I bought a BLT contract, but never stayed there.

The layout of the studio was very convenient. I liked the kitchenette in the middle, elongated next to the bathroom. It had an area for storage for extra luggage and a huge mirror/lighting area perfect as an extra female get-ready area. The layout really made the room feel larger than Riveria and more conducive to movement. That, and walking right into Magic Kingdom. :) My only drawback was that we did a 3 day each split stay: GF/BLT/Rivera. After staying in a GF 1 bedroom and going to a studio at BLT, I was a little letdown. Then, when I compared to Riveria, I realized I really liked BLT.

It is tough for March/October. Maybe it was just because I was looking! Each time I saw a 155, 146, 148: it was a different UY. Back in Dec., I was hell bent on more OKW and scrolled with a Nope on every BLT. Silly me... gonna pay a good 3K more, now. But still, 100 BLT is cost me less than 100 direct OKW from last year for the BC. I'm happy I found this BLT. It had been up for 4 days, and the owner was very tight... very, very unwilling to budge. Offered several scenarios. Then the broker said they might budge a little if I rephrased the offer: remove the request for them to pay closing, and I go up a couple of points. It almost worked the same! They only went down 4 pts. I started at 15 below, and they were getting tired of me. It was stripped of 2021- gotta budge some!
 
Wow, what a shortage of small contracts right now! We weren't expecting to get Hilton Head, however, we have contracts at Saratoga and Old Key West to secure our WDW time and realized that without owning at HH it's really hard to get in there for the summer months! These points will allow an occassional trip to HH which I have a feeling we will enjoy (perhaps waiting until the refurb is done though). They will also mix in with our others and push us into the 1-bedroom zone which will make reservations so much easier. I had to really consider the maintenance fee aspect but, it's a small contract and being a part of this club isn't cheap or necessarily for the faint of heart. Looking forward to more plotting and planning for the next trip!

This is what I’m looking for but Feb use year. I’m not in a rush though- still paying off my Riviera points for a couple of months.
 
I know current listings are crazy!!! Mine was listed at $128/pt and was lucky that the owner accepted my $100/pt offer. Some wont even take under $120/pt offer.

Yeah, i tried offering around $100/pt but lost out on the first deal, and the second one the buyer would only go down to $124. We weren't willing to wait for our use year to come up again, so I sucked it up and paid that. (Not a huge difference on our contract size and we need the points for Feb 22.)

I don't know what other sellers are willing to accept, but I'm seeing smaller contracts listed as "asking price only". I expect the average price data in April to look higher than May.

With Aulani its not whether you pass ROFR, is whether you get the seller to accept a historically consistent offer, IME.

I thought the same thing but. I'm waiting on a BRV that I've seen pass for less p.p. then I offered. My DH says he feels it in his bones that today's the day I hear back. It was sent 4/7 and I saw a couple contracts posted yesterday with a 4/6 date. I want my life back so I hope to hear soon🤣

Bwahahaha I know the feeling all too well!
