ROFR Thread January to March 2024 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

Closed today, took exactly 3 weeks from when it was sent off to ROFR, woohoo! Now we'll see how long it takes Disney to add my new membership and then load the points! From the closing time thread it looks like things are moving along pretty fast on their end.

Happy to add our 4th Home! Only wish it was 20 more points so we could have joined the 1,000 point club

You still have time to get those

I hope everything is going quickly on Disney’s end. I need those points to make a reservation for this summer!,

Add closing costs, etc

I fixed it.

I am still waiting on the buyer to send funds for this to actually close out. I’m hoping this isn’t a sign the buyer is silently backing out.

Finally, a month after ROFR and about 2 weeks after we could close, the buyer has finally sent funds on that second SSR contract, and it can now close out!

I feel like Fidelity lists BWV in the $110-120 range all the time. I saw one under $100/point recently- larger contract but still a good deal.

I was thrilled with adding a "small" BWV at $140 - should close in the next week or so. "Deal" depends on your needs.

I'll also say this again for anyone new - READ your contract before you sign it, the purchase contracts are NOT standardized. For example - www.fidelityrealestate.com has both Buyer service fees of $225, and extra cancellation terms, which I don't think the other Brokers include (although some Brokers may have their own upcharges like promoting higher priced Escrows they partially own etc).

That’s why I was surprised to get judged for paying $115 (listed $130) in December for a 100 BWV March UY with 0/23 and 100/24. I have been monitoring since and have not seen a March UY 80-100pt BWV while checking other UYs in the same range and nothing really beats my price. BWV sellers are unwavering unless you find a unicorn or buying 200+.

All that really matters is you found a contract that you were happy paying for and fit your needs. Like I can look now and be like darn I spent 10 dollars more per point than this guy did in the ROFR thread and admittedly I do do that sometimes, but I also wouldn't have been able to go on 3 of my trips if I hadn't bought it last year so /shrug. Value is in the eye of the beholder.

Ok I’m very jealous of this, amazing deal, congrats!
I said someone would break into the $70s soon but this is giving JG a run for his money!

Awe you’re still waiting on closing docs?? I hate that it’s taking so long for you. It’ll get done though, a few weeks feels like a lifetime when you’re waiting but it’ll be a blip when those points are finally loaded!

That is impressive. I have been submitting bids in the low 80's for SSR contracts and so far, 2/3rds do not even counter.

I was told I’m not allowed to do this anymore (I’m taking that “anymore” as “for now”)

Well done, congrats!

By who. lol

Significant other or a broker??

It’s all about expenses relative to free cash flow.

A country club will cost you $12k/yr in dues…. but 1262 DVC points is probably a lot more fun for the family…. and you can cash out down the line if you want to.

I agree that DVC points provide more fun for your money than a typical Country Club. However, $12K/year would be a steal for CC membership in my area - they’re more like $25K (& NO - I do not hold a CC membership)!

only takes one to accept!

Yup. That is my outlook. And I have time.
