ROFR Thread April to June 2025 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[Mjd1563]

Good luck! AKV is beautiful.

Adding on to BCV. They typically don’t take my resort but I’m just anxious to book for 2026!

Gotcha I have an International seller was told they normally dont mess with those and also anxious to book for 2026!

The ROFR monster only likes domestic cheese…..

(as a relative newbie here) why is this? Longer closing times? More paperwork? I'm assuming it must somehow translate to a costlier transaction for Disney if they regularly avoid ROFR'ing international contracts?

Im gonna guess it has to do with the FIPRTA tax clause. Just a guess though,

With the seller paying $719 in closing costs it's equivalent to $136 /pt which I felt good about for a small contract. Excited to add this to my 330 points at AKV + GFV, will now own my three favorites!

Love this thread for becoming an informed purchaser of what contracts are going for, how long they are taking, and whether ROFR is being exercised. Many thanks to the creators of the tool and those who moderate the thread.

Does anyone know if adding "listing price" as well as "accepted offer price" to the thread has been considered? Not sure if that has come up before and already has known reasons it isn't included. That's one area I am always wondering about as I think about making an offer, since it seems like some resorts go for asking price and others much below. If we could see both prices, that might educate buyers and sellers on these patterns (while recognizing that typical doesn't apply to each unique listing). Does anyone know if this has been suggested or considered in the past?

This one is close to what you are asking for.

Welcome !

I am going to continue to avoid including listing price in the parameters. In all honesty, I don't think that it would be at all useful information and because there are so many variables that contribute to the initial listing price, I don't believe that any real data could be extrapolated. Further, I think that it would create a more "competitive" aspect of the purchase process as it relates to people checking this thread.

I hope that this clarifies! Good luck with your search

I would love this feature, not sure if it’s been considered or if there’s a reason it can’t be done,

Well, I was hoping for news this week, as we are on day 20, but instead I got an addendum. There was an error in our contract expiration date. I'm a bit mad that I didn't catch it when I read the contract. I looked it over carefully.

Oh well, back to the beginning of the countdown I guess.

 

[gskywalker]

Ugh, addon itis. I bought a contract in 20, 21, 22, 23 and I was very strong() in 24. Now I am wondering whether I I buy SSR, OKWE or BLT with the current pricing and sell my AUL $70pp for 90 to offset? It's so stupid I even question this when we likely won't be going to any US parks for another 3.5 years for obvious reasons. Or even better I keep Aulani and buy to join the 1000 point club. Looking forward to seeing Disney Paris and Tokyo next year instead, but no DVC rooms for us there.

I personally would not sell Aulani to buy SSR or OKWE. BLT could have arguments made for doing it but not the other two.

If you aren’t going for 3.5 years, I’d just hang tight. No need to make semi permanent decisions now.

If its just for SAP buy SSR. Seems like you have a lot of contracts already, OKW dues are on the higher side and blt has good availability and costs more than SSR.

If you go to aulani a lot not sure i would sell it and seems like you're not going to be going to any of them for a while, prices could go even lower i feel like they're declining pretty fast

 

[Tatebeck]

I would want 2025 points even at that price to make it an instant sale. Though it is my use year lol

 

[Tatebeck]

But I'm in the middle of finishing my basement so it's probably a no from me. But that doesn't stop me from checking on DVC deals every day

I mention BLT because most of our points are there. OKWE because our direct points are there and I wouldn't mind having more okw points to get GVs, although the dues are unpleasant. We have never been to Aulani. I bought them because I got them for $70 pp when disney took every contract I negotiated (think it was 10+ contracts). We tried to go in AUL in 2020 for our 20th but didn't think being separated from our kids by land was smart. This year we were going to Cali, then Aul, then Tokyo and HK for our 25th but now we have to book outside of USA so who knows when we will get to AUL. With that info as background, would you still go SSR?

Yeah i hear you

If you aren’t going for 3.5 years, I’d just hang tight. No need to make semi permanent decisions now.

That's the way I lean. I think the biggest thing is I like negotiating for good deals, so it's tough to be left out.
