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

[gskywalker]

you get your news in time. We are going to stay the long weekend at BWV for valentines without the kids. I so need a break.

Have a great time. Great place to go when you are in need of a break. We are very glad we got to go at New Years for our 20th anniversary because with all the new rules on travelling internationally here in Canada we won't be going anywhere until they ease up.

Wasn't really looking but this one popped up and couldn't resist. Feel like this is a fair price.

I saw this one too. So tempting but not quite what I was wanting. Just waiting for the right contract to pop up! Great buy!

Hard to say, everything seems to have slowed down quite a bit. I passed 1/20 and I’m waiting for estoppel. I believe those who passed the prior week are still waiting as well. I haven’t seen one reported yet this month.

Yep. Passed Jan 12. Still waiting.....

That's rough, sorry! Fingers crossed you hear something soon

So, the other PVBs were bought back in 15 days or less....since I've been in ROFR for 16 days, I should be good right?! LOL. Didn't think I'd have to worry about PVB being taken, but here we are.

 

[pinkxray]

Just an update after contacting title company.
Apparently they received word on estoppel last week
Hoping to have closing documents sent to me by the end of the week.

congrats, stripped contract but pretty solid price.

Thanks! We were actually looking for stripped since we live in Canada and aren't planning on travelling until 2022 at the earliest.

I find it interesting how many people from Canada are looking for stripped contracts. We are in Mississauga and went at New year's and had hoped to go at March break, maybe June but realistically I think September 2021 is our best hope with all of the testing, restrictions, etc. I am awaiting ROFR for a contract with full points in 2021. I figure I can bank them if things don't work out to go in 2021.

We're from Canada too and that's exactly why we bought a stripped contract too. We aren't planning to go until at least 2022 either.

I’m going to hope your line of reasoning is correct! On day 22 myself for ROFR on our PVB contract. Have seen folks submit contracts after the date we did, but almost all were buybacks.

In the 20 years of marriage and the 1 year of dating before getting married I have never celebrated Valentines. I hate it, don't like, it and told her on our 2nd date that I would never celebrate it(instead I would love her like valentines every day of the year, as a husband should) but this year I have decided, even though she sort of agrees with me, she wishes she had it and would feel loved by it, so I am throwing her a surprise with all the stupid valentines crap. I bought boxed chocolates, will buy flowers the day before, bought a DQ cake and will get a card(also hate bought cards) with the DVC announcement in it just so that she knows she is appreciated and loved, even more than I detest the philosophy and expectations of Valentines.




Let's hope she thinks the same. She didn't want Aulani when I had talked to her about DVC, she wanted BLT or AKV. Hopefully she should be excited to have tripled our current points and I will show her in the coming years that I will get lots of good reservations at resorts she wanted anyway but for a much cheaper price. A lot of our stays will be with 4 kids anyway and getting 2 bedrooms I don't think will be that tough.

I’m a happy Aulani owner, so I hope you get good news soon! You do know how high the dues are, though, right? If you’re purchasing the points to stay elsewhere, have you crunched the numbers to check out the long term cost? A decently priced SSR contract, to use at the 7 month window, could represent more savings down the road.

I priced it out and aulani was still better value for us between the years, initial price and investment value not spent on initial purchase. I would imagine most of the time we won't want to book at Disney world more than 7 months out. A lot of the time we will get 2bdrms which are easier to get. Plus the bonus of using it once or twice at Aulani when we actually will book more than 7 months out. As well after having 4 contracts taken already I targetted Aulani because they rarely to never take those contracts.

Congrats! We sent on 1/18 and haven't heard back.

Same, going to contact the broker on Friday if we haven't heard by then.

What was your bid for? I have mine at SSR $100/250 points

Our last one was $100/250 points and it was taken. This time we did $103/250.

I just saw an AKL pass for $105, that makes me a little more hopeful.

The only AKV I've seen taken was a sub 100 offer. It feels like they're not concerned with AKV. They are buying back quite a bit of SSR though, at least, that's what the ROFR data suggests.

I'm still waiting, I would just like to know either way. I don't care if the rest of the process takes 3 months, I just want to know if I need to make an offer on something else or not.
