Another thought to what I added earlier. To verify, one would need the actual names of the parties,etc.
The whole purpose of the ROFR thread is to let members our our DIS community simply share their buying and selling experience.
But, as I said, if someone wants to gather all the info from the OCC site on their own they certainly can!
Exactly! In order to post the verification of sales of contracts personal data of owners names would need to be shared meaning everyone involved in the sale would need to give their consent to share this info.
That could be a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Even though the info is available to the public on the OCC, there is a difference doing your own personal research and sharing everything you find.
If it is so important to see if these posts are real, then the person who is concerned should do their own homework and research posts and match them up to the OCC contracts looking back 3 months to see what passed in December looking at OCC week by week in the month of January, February, March.
I personally have done this back in 2018 and have been able to match contracts to posts, but this took hours and checking every week for about month. I did this not because I thought people were lying to manipulate the market, but because I wanted to see what contracts at specific resorts were passing as a whole mostly to see if the
DVC resale sellers were correct as to what the floor was for ROFR. This way I could see how low I could offer before getting ROFR.
I have been ROFR multiple times. Even with looking at comps, it was still hard to know what Disney would take.
My conclusion: Whatever a buyer and seller agreed on for price is what the contract sold at unless Disney exercised ROFR and it was taken.
I no longer feel the need to go this length of researching ROFR and resale prices. This board is helpful for both buyer and seller to understand in some part what the market is doing.
Currently we are in an uncontrolled market without ROFR. Supply and Demand mixed with a need to sell. Sellers all have their reasons for selling and I no way think they are crazy to ask for what they think is right for themselves. For all we know sellers are listing high because they are reacting or being proactive to lowball offers.
I am a buyer right now and of course would like the best price, so I offer to see if anyone will meet my price.
If they don't meet my price then I have a decision- pay more or don't buy. It is that simple.
Really the best about ROFR taking a break is Now is the time to get a contract to a resort you have always wanted without worrying about ROFR.
