$125 is still an incredible deal for subsidized. I paid $135, and was happy to do it. I would love $125!
But your's was a smaller contract so it evens out. I suppose it all depends on what you value. Money now or money later. I figure if I were to keep the contract long enough, the subisidized dues will pay off in the long run. And if we decide to sell, the sub contracts will also probably fetch a higher price and be sold a lot quicker. That means extra dole whips for us!

I actually would have preferred a larger contract, but just got really trigger happy to see anything subsidized, so jumped on it immediately. I guess this way we have room to see if we really need more DVC and add on later, or call it good with what we have. Yes, I figure that sub contracts should always be in higher demand and sell for more than non, so it is a safe bet. Yay for Dole Whips!
 
I was just noticing the same thing. Those sellers must really want to sell but ROFR is scaring people away…😕 another way DVD can adversely affect the resale market.

Yeah I noticed this too. We have an SSR in ROFR right now with a September use year and double points available come September. We paid $136 which is a bit higher than many of the listings right now for SSR… but with double points coming, I didn’t mind paying more, and at least we might have a shot at passing ROFR at $136 (our $125 was taken by Disney). Who knows.

So ironic because I was looking for a smaller contract but I too got trigger happy and just jumped on it. Now I haveto figure out how to rent half of it to cover my annual dues. I wish Dole Whips were included as part of our dues, kinda like parking. I'm a genious!

So then what happens - for anyone that knows how history has played out. If Disney is taken all the lower contracts you would assume the price could creep up like you mention you paid $136 for a contract to ensure you get it. But if most of those contracts are not selling then sellers have to reduce their price regardless if Disney takes it right. So as is said on here often Disney won’t take them all right? I would assume that is when you start seeing the prices come down? Or does it just bounce around an average some point between 120-138 for awhile? Will be interesting to see the numbers. Especially with AKV seemingly passing ROFR at a similar 130 range.
 
The direct price also impacts resale prices, not just ROFR. Now that SSR, OKW, and AKL is now priced at $200pp direct with no incentives, one would think that the demand to buy direct would decrease, which would lead to Disney buying less back on ROFR. But since the direct price has risen, that would probably make the resale prices to go up as well. Resale prices are usually about 20-30% cheaper than direct so that would leave SSR resale at the $140pp range.
 
Have their been any reported instances of an Aulani being taken in ROFR? My seller has a trip booked so we're doing a delayed closing and there might be time for me to get cash out of my SSR contract so I don't have to move other money around. But I'm nervous to sell and then lightning strikes me in ROFR.
 
brf5003---$130-$3758-25-SSR-Mar-0/21, 0/22, 25/23, 25/24- sent 4/17

Couldn't resist adding a few more points when I found this listing with our use year and home resort. Now we wait!
While I think that is appropriately priced, I think I'd be shocked if it passed. It might though since it's such a small slice of the pie and closing costs raise that to a less than desirable price per point for DVD.

That was my hope...I know it is in line with others that have been taken.

They can't take them all and honestly...that's a killer price on a 25pt contract. I can see why you jumped on that. Plus SSR dues are low enough that 25 points is a drop in the bucket.
 
Aaaand we are updated!

Sorry for the delay- we were moving last week and the Covid Fairy decided to fly over our house...I recommend not having those two things going on at the same time if one can help it :crazy2:
My son and I contracted Covid the week before we listed our home for sale. I also do not recommend this option! Sorry to hear you are under the weather, wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for your dedication to this board, not only is it helpful information, but a great source of entertainment.
 
Great news!!! After 26 days ----- WE PASSED!! FYI we received an email with the good news.
dboules---$195-$5092.75-25-BCV-Jun-0/20, 0/21, 37/22, 25/23- sent 3/16, passed 4/11
dboules---$190--$10153.25-50-BCV-Jun-0/20, 0/21, 62/22, 50/23- sent 3/16. passed 4/11

Guess I should have made that update earlier like just after you get up from the table to go to the bathroom - that is when your food comes :)
I know these are high per point costs but compared to direct at $265, resale saved me $5,500 and I got exactly what I was wanting (points and UY). Super happy now on to the next steps!

We closed today on this contract. That was fast compared to the ROFR wait.
So for those of you keeping track:
Offer sent to ROFR 3/16
Passed ROFR 4/11
Closed 4/18
Now waiting for Disney to add to it our existing membership and load the points!
I can't wait to book our first trip to our new home.
 
No ROFR updates at all yesterday??? I suppose expected following a holiday weekend. Here's to hoping we get some reports today!:surfweb:
That was my thought too...I was at least hoping to see others passing to know that things were moving along. We're at day 36 and 22 for our 2 and very antsy.
