ROFR Thread April to June 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

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

I really hoped my whining yesterday would result in passing ROFR so I could sheepishly apologize for my lack of patience..... but it didn’t work!

I feel ya!! I am struggling with the patience. I’m to the point that I want to know now and if it doesn’t go through I’m just going to buy direct.

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!

one of ours was sent 3/9, still waiting. I know some are saying they waited 4 months on AKV last year but most are now hearing in a much shorter time.

Me too. I figure Saratoga 125 direct and add on a small contract to my Blt.

I think the long wait last year was due to limited staffing.

i’m on the same boat and have a feeling Disney knows it and will deny me

 

[ICEMAN3205]

Same, I had a 4 month one too

4 months is crazy. I am waiting for my first contract, can Disney take as long as they want in ROFR? I have a tentative closing date in June, I thought they had to decide by that date. Is that not correct?

Same here. If mine doesn't pass, will buy direct asap and then buy a small add on. I just want to know either way now lol

At least if we need to buy direct we will get our points faster! But then I’ll feel stupid after already being in this process for a month. We could have already had our points and booked trips!

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.

Totally agreed. I wound up paying $123 and $119 a few weeks ago for two small 110 point Aulani contracts March UY. Availability is monstrously scarce, and I’m glad to have them! At least there are no ROFR worries! But over time, when Aulani sells out (and it’s got to happen sooner or later) that could change, just like it has now at CCV.

Many posters seem to think all these prices will come down when availability increases, but DVC prices over the long term trend up, and Aulani in particular had been stuck in a lower price range for a while.

Also, new DVC buyers won’t care because the savings over direct are still substantial, so I think we’ll see fewer and fewer contracts sell for lower prices, especially in the 100-200 point range, where sellers will want the higher priced going rate. Also, the continually higher cost for direct could push resale prices even higher. This could be true for all DVC resorts.

The one exception I think are the relatively rare contracts for 100s and 100s of points, 500 and up. Those can sit on the market forever because there are so few buyers, and when owners want to unload them it’s more difficult so they’re locked into a substantially lower price range.

I've never been so happy to spend so much money in my whole life. One more BLT contract to go. Best of luck to everyone agonizingly waiting on their ROFR.

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.

Was this a Riviera studio or tower room you’re comparing it too? I didn’t love the layout for BLT as much but LOVE that it’s like a 5 min walk to MK so BLT is a winner to me. For my last split stay visit, I was a bit let down with BWV and BLT after staying in a refurbed SSR first but man, can’t beat those locations.

How are the walls at SSR? I recently switched from OKW to SSR because of all the negative things I've been hearing about the thin walls at OKW studios attached to lockoffs.

Looks like Disney are a fair bit behind of ROFR approvals than usual. Best to assume I won’t be hearing this week

Buyer pays the MF on remaining ‘21. I’m the seller; just bought this contract back in November and am using the proceeds to buy direct to have the opportunity to stay at Riveria and the new DLR DVC property.
