Thank you for that info!! Timeshare Title is who we tried the first time the deal fell through so the sellers broker was questioning my title company decision. I would like a smooth process round 2, and I am trying to squeeze in diligent research.
Was Shari the agent you used with Timeshare Title? I was also told that Title insurance is not an option for Aulani but that a quick search is performed. Was that your experience also? I don't feel experienced enough to make all these decisions!

Yes! Was Shari! She was great for us. I don’t know what title insurance is required. With a timeshare I think as long as dues are paid and no mortgage on the contract, then you’re good. They do a quick title search...not sure if anyone else has had any issues...I have not & bought (2) different contracts via resale.

Because there are complexities and differences between Florida DVC contracts and those for Aulani, I would go through a company that has a ton of experience on Aulani in particular, one of the “usual suspects” used by many of the resale brokers we all know and love. Frankly, I’ve bought quite a few contracts, and I’ve never even heard of Timeshare Title, a company that apparently did not deliver for you the first time around.

I would bet that First American handles a huge percentage of Aulani contracts sold. Disney uses them. For me, they’re the safest choice. And I believe they‘re based in Hawaii. And on no contract have I ever felt that I‘ve had to research title insurance. If you’re doing it because you feel the need to second guess your title company, then you shouldn’t be using them.

I have not had luck buying resale in this crazy market. Hopefully I hear good news for my AKV contract that’s taking longer to hear back because there was an error in the sellers name since they had later put it into a trust. So far I’m 1 for 6 in ROFR with my BLT finally passing.

You can look up the highest point price taken by ROFR for every resort every month, to get an idea if your contracts are vulnerable.

Unfortunately it with how fast prices have risen I it seems I’ve picked the wrong resorts to buy in when Disney decides to buy them up. SSR had been very safe until recently.

So yet another 2 SSR contracts taken... There's just so much interest in direct at this resort, it's very hard to get through ROFR at SSR at the moment.

It's kinda crazy, a few days after the contract was sent for ROFR things started accelerating with SSR and I knew in my gut it was going to get taken....I might as well just buy where I want to stay and pay 8-10$ more ppt now that SSR is going for 120+

Yes, it's really crazy. I recently had 2 SSR contracts taken at 111$ per point, now have a new big one in at 120$ per point - but I want to stay at SSR (beautiful new rooms, affordable point charts and availability of rooms), so that's worth it for me. If this will pass tho, remains to be seen. Another contract on this thread recently got through at 120$ per point

At some point they will have enough in inventory and hopefully they’ll start passing again, I see this as waves, I’m sure mine will be taken but perhaps in an another month they’ll relax their SSR ROFR

 

[Ginamarie]

Yes, I read somewhere else that someone had inquired this week about buying SSR direct, and DVC was out of SSR inventory. So it makes sense that they're back to buying SSR contracts right now. I think it's a really attractive purchase for people because DVC has it priced the lowest and was running incentives on top of that. For anyone who wants that blue card, that's the most cost effective way to go.

That didn't take long. SO sorry.

Very good point made..
I didnt even think about those looking for a blue card...
we jumped back in to add on points after our wonderful stay at SSR but CCV had a better contract for us in the UY we wanted..

We figure it’s going to be easier to get a room at 7mo at SSR vs CCV just based size of the resorts. Not to mention the extra years owning CCV..

Now I’m wondering if people will jump on SSR and buy to get their blue card. And others looking at resale will buy else where and end up raising the other resorts price per point on the resale

ROFR from 5/1 is the latest I have seen. I keep checking for 5/3. Last contract took months since it was right after Disney booted back up. These dates seem to be rolling so much faster. I'm waiting on a "taken" since I would like the contract. 161 for BLT would have been outrageous in other times. Today? Who knows.

Hello Everyone! Currently in the process of purchasing a 300 pt Aulani contract for $80/pt. Is this a good deal? How does it compare to historical prices for contracts this size? At initial glance of ROFR threads, it appears pretty good.
