ROFR Thread January to March 2021 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

For me it isn't just about my contract I awaiting. It's that there aren't any contacts being dealt with. I could live vicariously through the people who were getting taken or passed but of course now there is nothing happening for anyone. It is really strange. Less is happening now than happened on Christmas week.

Only thing I really care about is finding out by next weekend because I decided to make it a Valentine's present now that it took so long.

This is how I feel - I fully anticipated it taking 30 days (although now that we are on Day 25 that seems like longer than I was expecting), but not seeing ANYTHING progressing is making the wait 100X worse! I realize the board is just a small sample of the contracts they are working through, but it's the only sample I have

Only thing I wish they would do is if they know they are not buying any contracts right now at a certain resort that they would just quickly pencil whip the sign off instead of making me suffer for the month or so...

Stay strong - they tend to have huge pass days and it gets euphoric (for most) in here. Hoping for everyone that we see some movement soon!

Reading how long people are waiting and from what I understand the 30 days is just a “suggested” time frame this is starting to remind me of the movie Zootopia and the sloths that work at the DMV.

While I hope it happens sooner for y’all and I get the frustration/anxious feelings, 30-ish days for ROFR is pretty common. In some cases recently it’s gone through in 7-14 days for some people... so now everyone expects / hopes for that kind of speed.
But that was more the exception than the usual. That said, we’re on day 3 - I wouldn’t mind them wowing us all with a 3 day pass. Haha. Last time was 37 days. Happy Friday!

Well...I think we are on day 43 now. On Feb 12 (next Friday), I believe we can get our deposit back if we don’t want to continue waiting.

What resort did you bid on?

DARN!! We are pushing a time window with ours with points we have to use by end of July or lose them. I am hoping we can be through this entire process within 65 days and super hoping we aren't waiting on ROFR for that long.

What resort do you have in agreement and with what broker? Have you heard ANYTHING from your broker since submitting for ROFR?

Beta to the Max---$65-$13,995-200-HH-Feb-2/20, 264/21, 200/22, 200/23- sent 1/25

Pixie dust. Great price.

 

[eMoneyBug]

They weren’t. Did I screw myself?

it’s all good, still much lower than direct pricing. If this deal isn’t finalized or there is any loop hole or delay on the seller side and you can get out with losing deposit, you may want to take that route. Check out this threads data each quarter and you can see the pricing trends. Loaded contract +$8to10and stripped contract -$8to10 in my value book.

Congrats! You're going to get everyone riled up on here. They've been itching to see a pass for weeks

 

[RedFive]

Not at all! You've 2019 and 2020 loaded. Sure, those 2019 points probably have to be used asap, but you can rent those and 2020 if you wanted and be up to date with points and money in your pocket. I much prefer paying a little extra for a loaded contract than less for a stripped contract, personally. The swing in cost/save between a stripped contract and a loaded contract is pretty big, in my opinion.

Hopefully I opened the flood gates for many happy people today!

Just because no one has posted here, doesn’t mean things didn’t happen. This is a small section of buyers so you won’t know what happened this week unless it’s a DIS community member.

Typically,3 to 4 weeks is it. We have recently gotten some decisions without 2 weeks.

Funny how when we had 5 to 6 week waits in summer and fall we were all excited it it came in in 30 days!!! Lol

What resale company are you using and did they contact you via phone or email to tell you it passed? I keep refreshing my email, but it still hasn’t shown up... been fighting addonitis for 12 years and now that we decided to addon the process can’t complete fast enough.

I used DVC Resale Market and received an email from them this morning. Very happy with them and would absolutely use them next time when addonitis kicks in for me again.
