Day 37. I’m calling.

View attachment 665643

I've got two contracts waiting for ROFR, nowhere near 37 days, but I feel your pain.

 

[TroJo]

Hey Guys, I need some help. I submitted a contract to RPFR on Monday for 100 Points. I already have 70, but now I'm worried I won't have enough points. Should I cancel the 100 and try for a 120 contract? Both contracts are for PVB.

In most cases after 10 days of signing your initial offer contract you can cancel without penalty. If you are having doubts you can always reach out to your broker and discuss your options. Better to be safe than sorry - don’t want to pay closing costs twice when you could get all the points you want in one transaction.

That's a good point I hadn't considered.

We’re looking at trying for an international seller this time round, do they tend to pass?

I wish you good luck on your AKL hunting

Day 37. I’m calling.

At day 37 as well. For SSR. Trying to figure out my plan B. Really wanted to be able to book something for marathon weekend before it all fills up. And for another trip we have planned next May

SSR here too. My broker just called back and said still no answer. She said Disney is really backed up and short staffed. I guess I’m going into 40 day territory. I just wish they’d take it already so I can make another offer.

Yes, it is. Thank you!

 

[Huskerpaul]

The goals for them seem to change and I have been told that over the years that they don’t want to be predictable.

But a true extension means they can’t make changes to those resorts. And we don’t know yet what is going to happen in 2042 for owners who never signed to give it back.

DVD is not going to extend when they can make a lot more money selling as new.

I have to agree. We are buying BWV as our first entry into DVC and I purchased fully expecting the above scenario to happen in 2042. Maybe they offer good deals to those still holding contracts, but they will want a “modern” point schedule for both BWV and BCV given their prime location. I’m 58 and wife is 52 with no kids, so we are buying 20 years of vacations with no expectations after that.

I'll be honest - it's wonderful knowing that we passed ROFR, however, now I'm on day 4 of waiting for my closing docs. I know it can take a bit but several people have posted that they got their docs the same day or the next day with other brokers/title companies.... I'd say passing ROFR is definitely the most painful but the continued waiting afterwards isn't great....

Just keep remembering you bought for $100 less per point than direct and think about how worth the wait is.

Just keep remembering you bought for $100 less per point than direct and think about how worth the wait is.

Touche... LOL

 

[dlam32]

Has anyone thought about this concerning RIV resale, the whole restrictions aspect is just a game for Disney to get them back at a decent ROFR rate than resell them with no restrictions.

Obviously the resorts need to sell out for this to be most effective.

Strangely, the resale prices for riv have been higher than I would have anticipated with the restriction. Don’t know if that’s just due to the low volume of contracts available. It’ll be interesting if Disney will be aggressive with ROFR for RIV if the restrictions have impacted selling direct sales, delaying the time for it to sell out.

Seeing this really makes me think I need yet another contract!!

So pretty much we know nothing.

Winner winner, chicken dinner! And DVD wants it that way!!! LOL

I want to remind everyone that the DIS does not allow For Sale posts...that includes letting others know you are selling something, even if it is listed with a broker. You may certainly share once things are sold, but not before. Thank you.

The resale price has surprised many, myself included. Some of us never thought it would sell at the rates it is. I even said I wouldn't even buy it for $50/point because of its restrictions. I then fell in love with the resort, bought direct, and last summer, paid $152/point for my restricted resale at RIV!!!

IMO, people are willing to buy restricted points because the resort sells itself. Now, I would venture that many buying it resale have every intention of buying points at other resorts that can be used for variety...or, like me, already own plenty of points that can be used everywhere.

Since DVD can change the resale restrictions at any time, I think if they were that concerned about the impact on direct sales, they would have adjusted. Having said that, they now have VGF competing directly with it at the same time, in a post pandemic world, and in the same economic climate. If there are any concerns about this long term strategy, the next few months of direct sales will give them concrete data to use...but, honestly, I don't see them ever aggressively taking back those contracts as the whole purpose of the move is to guide people to direct.
