Are there people out there who don't believe this??

This should be good.

Uh oh. I didn't realize I touched a sensitive topic. I guess in my head, our behavior is guided by the fact that the ROFR exists. So yes, ROFR does impact the resale market. To what extent? Who knows. Probably varies. We saw in January close to 50% of BCV resales were taken in ROFR. I would expect to see average prices go up in the following month to make the contracts less attractive to DVC.

I think it’s right in the cusp. But 200 points direct is down to $202. It will come with the 2022 points which you could then rent or transfer?

Points unrestricted and makes you eligible for perks when they exist, if you are not already eligible.

It may be worth consideration?

Also, if they don't have a use year that has hit yet (Feb, Mar) or if they are a brand new member, they would get 2021 points and 2022 points. So in essence if you buy at $202 and sell 2 years worth of points for $20/pt you would be paying $2 more per point for direct points.

AKV was ticking along quite nicely at $110 until last year when DVC started gobbling everything up to $135. Over that time the direct pricing did not change from $186, its even lower with incentives.
Point being, if you want AKV the ROFR movement forced an increase not the brokers or the sellers, just the action of DVC.

 

[Bayoumomof3]

That’s the whole point. They want to keep resale prices high. Then more people will be inclined to buy direct!

Give me some $50 incentive on BWV. I’ll get me some direct points. Lol

There was a $41 incentive just a few weeks back, $169 for 300 points, those points are now $230.

I wish there was a crystal ball to see today’s market. Back to wait for VGF2.

Yeah, just saw a contract posted for BLT @$175. Only $27 more pp and you can have all the bennies for direct. Hmmmm

This goes back to something I’ve been saying all along- a lot of these properties look attractive for purchasing direct points if you’re looking for a small contract (Say under 100 points).
For someone wanting 50 points at BLT, it may be worth the extra money, especially since you get the points immediately and don’t have to deal with ROFR.
I’m one week into ROFR now and getting antsy. Why do I keep doing this to myself?

Especially if you know you have one is 99% getting taken and just want to move on. I’m 5 days into ROFR but so ready to move on to another contract. I wish the BLT deal was a year ago. My 125 direct and 125 resale would have been all direct.

A loaded 100 VGC @$230 on Fidelity was gone in 14 minutes.

And yet the loaded SSR at $125 is sitting there for the taking.

Surely that would get taken right? Please don’t tell me it was a June UY?

 

[shand32783]

Strictly a guess but if you want buy a DEC UY direct from DVC with the current discount, It would be points from Dec 22' that I would then need to borrow, correct? The good play here would be to go with a FEB UY instead or upcoming months, correct? (I hope that made sense. Was looking at DEC UY)

We’re in December 21 UY now till 11/30/22. You would borrow form 2022 if needed.

Any month from March on would work. Don't do current month or previous.

ETA: I think I misunderstood you. You will get the 2021 points if you are in that UY when you purchase direct. And you won't have to pay any MF on them.
