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

Lets say you get it from Disney at 210 for the same UY. You would get 2020 points, and then you could sell those points for 16 dollars per point. Your new cost is 194 per point compared to 201 per point for resale (plus closing costs in both cases which should be comparable)

Agreed, no judgment! But there are some thoughts to consider while in the 10 day rescind period-- buying direct would mean points in your account by tomorrow, last year's points, and a shiny new magnet and backpack. We requested info on adding 35 AKV recently and the closing costs were $374.70 (about $10.70 per point).

Seller can't close until Sept 27. Will I see points before Dec. 24?

I would say yes, most likely.

We passed!!! Yay!!!!!!

That’s a really good price! I’ve been looking at PVB while waiting for my AKV to get transferred. Different UY and different ownership, so was very curious how painful it might be to manage multiple usernames. Luckily, that’s not necessary as both contracts show up with existing username.

I’ve made several offers in the last couple of weeks. A 150pt contract (stripped) holding FIRM at $154 and can’t close until November was too steep for me. A 125pt contract at $150 wasn’t bad but not an ideal UY and can’t close until November as well. I don’t mind waiting 7 months to close (assuming pass ROFR), but my lack of patience demands that I feel like I’m getting a good deal.

I recently bought in at BWV, I wanted that 4-5 day stay right on the parks - what I would say is that standard studios can sometimes be hard if you don't book at 11 months, so you may need extra points for a garden or boardwalk view (or you just want to have a BW view)
All I'm saying is that you may end up wanting more points, so have a think about that before your 10 days are up.

My apologies if I'm not wording this correctly ... If you only have 25 points at BWV, at the eleven month mark can you use other resort points to book at BWV? Or can you only use those home resort points at the 11 month mark and add on (if possible) to your reservation at the 7 month mark with your other points?

You can only use the 25 points at BWV at the 11 month mark, and then at 7 months use any other points from other resorts.

I would have bought that DVC E property that you bought in a heartbeat. It's my home resort and the price was perfect. If you change your mind...

So...it's for sale now! I backed out after reading all the advice here. I'm going to buy direct and get the same use year that I have.

 

[Amyeliza]

OK, here's the update on my $201 BoardWalk purchase. I decided to take some of your advice and wait to buy direct. That way, I can get the 2020 points, choose my UY and not go through this process again! What tipped the scales for me is that I received my contract from the Poly today! I have already got a cashier's check and FedExed it back to the title company.

THANK YOU so much for your kindness and all your advice. This is such a kind, judgement free place. I appreciate all of you.

The Estoppel Process/Contract process went quick:

Amyeliza---$167-$11023-60-PVB-Dec-0/20, 60/21, 60/22- sent 3/8, passed 3/29 - Contract Received 4/6

 

[E2ME2]

Perhaps they are just planning to tell you after the estoppel goes through? That's my hope for you.

I heard from the agent today. She was unexpectedly out of the office for a week or so - and it turns out ROFR was waived, AND estoppel has also been completed. (good thought Amyeliza)
She apologized for the disconnect, and all is well --
I'm glad it was good news, and that estoppel has been finalized as well. I will wait until I get the confirmation emails with the closing dates, before I update my status here & on the "Closing Time" thread.

 

[Maleficent_Hades]

Just got the email with our closing documents!!!

The closing costs are cheaper too!!

Are you going to stick with 25 points or get a slightly larger amount?

Sucked it up and bought Aulani at what seems to now be market rate (after losing out on other offers). A bit higher up front than I was hoping, but its getting harder to find contracts that match my BWK UY and we can make good use of the loaded contract. Hoping the ROFR process goes quickly so I can start booking for late 2021.

Are those 2020 points bankable? You might want to see if they can be banked by the current owners for you.

Yes, actually they are already banked. (The listing didn't show that, but the contract did.) We will likely use them in Nov 2021 or later.
Hoping it closes before end of May though since Aulani will not get taken in ROFR.

I'm doing the math right now! You see, my budget is closer to $5,000, but I can do $6,000. I'm still considering.

with 25 points, it will go farthest at BWV then BCV and BLT with their lower point charts. Poly and Grand Floridian will cost you more per night and their points charts are much higher.

Great point! I think I will just stick to 25 points at BLT and get the standard rooms at 11 months. This is meant to compliment my Poly contract so I can do a split stay between both resorts.

I see you're considering other resorts! Some have longer contracts, some have cheaper points charts. You can't really have both as far as that home resort advantage goes.

This is very true.

You could also alternate years using banking to avoid short split stays.

Price and points charts matter, but don't forget to buy where you want to stay. With this small of a contract, you're buying exclusively for the home-resort advantage. The price-per-point over the contract is lower at BLT, but if Boardwalk is what you really want (to have an MK and Epcot resort), then do that.

Good luck with your decision!

 

[Amyeliza]

These are all great things to consider! Luckily, I have a few weeks before I get my membership number and account and can add the new contract. This grueling process has given me time to think about things. My other option is to get 25 more points of the Poly. I will have 60 when we close. So, that would 85 total.
