Selling one of my smaller 170 point contracts to purchase this larger one.

So is the Thanksgiving party you're hosting going to be in a Poly bungalow or a CC cabin?

Was a bit concerned with this one taking so long. Seemed to be a fair price, even a bit higher than I would have liked.

While the idea of seeing the Christmas fireworks from a bungalow patio sounds amazing. The WL at the holidays is more my style lol.

In reality most of those ‘18/19 points will end up being rented. We will need that yearly allotment from 2020 forward though, and it’s hard to beat a loaded contract sooo...

I am hoping to close fast enough so I may have chance to use those 375 points banked from 2017, that will expire at the end of November. However, I am not expecting it.

When I offered I wondered why this thread existed. It was helpful to get an estimate timeframe and potentially trends on prices. But seriously? What's with the anxiety?

Well...ROFR anxiety is real. I need a support group.

Day 1: Why is it taking so long? It's been ONE hour. Did I offer too low? Is someone buying/waitlisted for that exact contract? NOBODY BUY ANYTHING! Will Disney change the terms on me while I'm in ROFR? What if I come out approved but then all of a sudden resales can only use in one location? OMG, one hour and one minute. Why is the clock not moving?!?!

Day 2: It's fine, it'll get approved. It was a reasonable offer, I didn't even counter the counter. 11 months out, I'm going to browse availability. First resort, second resort. This will be awesome. How much are flights right now?

Day 3: I haven't heard anything. Something is wrong. They're going to take it, I knew it was too good of a deal. Stupid resale. It's ok, I didn't want that contract anyway. I should have picked BCV as my home resort instead.

Day 4: Ugh, I want BCV now. What if they pass on my contract?! I should have waited. I hope they take it so I can make an offer on this one.

Day 5: I made an offer on a BCV contract one hour ago. WHY HAVEN'T THEY RESPONDED?!?

*Not actual events, just how I feel...

Is it me, or is Disney tightening her purse strings (not buying many contracts back). In anticipation of a recession?

Before last night I was not worried about this one getting taken since DVC hasn’t been exercising ROFR as frequently and the price per point is over any amount I’ve heard of being taken this calendar year in this board and one of the resale brokers who publishes a monthly ROFR report. But I admit after reading last night about about DVC’s pending increase from the 75-point minimum to 100-point minimum for direct blue card perks, I began to worry DVC would start exercising ROFR on resale contracts (particularly for resorts like OKW and SSR) this week to meet the current rush on direct purchases prior to the 9/17 increase. But yay, I passed!

I currently own BLT and BWV as my exclusive-use points contracts. This SSR contract will be my sleep-around points contract!

It's the end of the fiscal year for them. I've felt it was a trend in years past to not ROFR as much.

Oh dang. There's no availability anywhere.

Edited to add: last year an addon contract I bought had 124 points expiring at the end of July. Closing took longer than expected, so I got points in my account with 1.5 weeks or so to spend them. So we had a running joke that I should book a bungalow for a party with all my DIS friends to use those points. (I rented them)
