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

There’s been one at that price on sale for weeks. Assuming that the current going price for non subsidized contracts is a monstrously high $120, it would take 13 years of dues savings to make up the difference. The contract was for 100 points. Not worth it!

Aulani‘s resale prices have been frozen at a very low level for quite awhile, so one could argue that, sooner or later, it was bound to start catching up to a price range closer to other DVC resorts. I’m just glad I bought last summer!

The one that listed this week did go under contract right away. Too rich for my blood.

I think the supply and demand has taken over this year— inventory is SO much lower than it was in the fall. I’m glad I bought my points when I did because it saved me thousands based on the higher pricing we are seeing now.

What is a subsidized contract?

A reminder of what happens when corporate interests/shady timeshare practices are placed above the law.

What is a subsidized contract?

When Disney started selling Aulani, they made a mistake in calculating how the dues should work. They sold contracts at the wrong dues rate and then there was a big scandal and a bunch of people were fired and the dues had to start at a higher level going forward. All of the people who had already bought their contracts were locked in at the wrong rate though, so those dues have to get subsidized by DVC to make up the difference.
So if you buy one of those original contracts on the resale market, you get the benefit of the lower dues.

It wasn't a mistake, it was purposely done to artificially keep Alani dues low while DVC was selling the points, and then the plan was to jack up dues.

OK so it has now been 50 days since one of our AKV contracts was sent for ROFR and still no answer (our other one passed in 24 days) At the time $108 seemed reasonable but as time goes on it seems more unlikely that it will pass. The problem is that until a decision is made, we have to wait and watch prices rise and inventory fall. All the agent at fidelity can say is that they will let us know when they hear.

I have decided if mine does not pass on this third try I am going to wait. I think that Disney is buying things up fast and furious to have inventory as things re open entirely. I think people will buy and then some will have buyers remorse. I also expect that inventory will pick up towards fall. That's my thinking anyway.

I wish there was a time limit on ROFR, if you did not make up your mind to buy it by a certain point then it moves on.

I am there with you on an OKW contract at 46 days. It’s just ridiculous.

Disney are loving those AKL stripped contracts. Sorry it didn’t work our for you this time

 

[rawisericho]

So the points are super high right now, right? My wife and I are looking at possibly buying but it seems like things are currently inflated and above $120 on something like AKL doesn't seem like a great buy.
