FreemanFam---$127-$26749-200-AKV-Oct-0/21, 194/22, 200/23-INTERNATIONAL SELLER- sent 6/23, passed 7/20

We're So PUMPED! Tried Saratoga first, taken - Then found this deal at AKV which was our Top pick initially. Can't wait!

Love that you helped a seller! There's a 270 "not stripped" contract for OKW out there for $105 and it's been reduced 3 or 4 times...Anybody looking for a one in a million shot at cheap points should help them out, keep watching it drop and feel bad. Maybe OKW goes sub $100 now? So big and spacious it's just that bus

Hmmmm. I just found it. Wish it or any of them really were a UY that worked for me. I’d take the low expiration on for that price

They don’t take HH do they

We recently offered on a Hilton Head contract, too! I think we're good -- based on my research the highest they've taken recently is $77, and that was months and months ago.

They took my last attempt at HHI!!

I’m still trying to find a comparable replacement.

Consider asking them to bank the 21 points if your don’t plan on using them until after Dec. don’t want to lose those!

And it is the UY that I'm looking for. Maybe I'm overanalyzing things, but I have trouble getting the math to make sense. For a 2042 resort, even when it includes 2022 points, you have exactly 20 years worth of points. Compare that with BLT that expires in 2060, that's 18 more years; not quite double, but close.

$105/pt for a 2042 resort is almost like $200/pt for a 2060 resort.

At least we helped a seller. My DW and I had a lovely stay at BLT last December, and we would enjoy staying there again. I'm sure we'll be back sometime.

That was a long wait for bad news too. Bummed for you.

What was the PP for that contract? We wanted a HHI contract but I didn’t want to pay the dues… now I’m regretting not buying points there and think I may try to convince my husband that we shouldn’t wait a year to get another contract lol.

Not a huge surprise, but the family is super excited our second contract has officially passed ROFR! The waiting game between all these steps until we are official members with points really is equal parts hopeful anticipation and psychological torture... At least for these 1st 2 contracts anyway.

That's a great price in today's market. Congrats!

Best parking on property outside of Fort Wilderness for those who drive or rent.

Very similar to SSR or better? We loved being able to go off property for meal or to shop and being able to come back and park right in front of our building at SSR.

Dreaming of a SkyLiner expansion from Riviera to SSR/OKW and Disney Springs........

My first attempt at purchasing DVC has a long wait and unfortunate end:

golex---$165-$31139-180-BLT-Feb-0/21, 0/22, 180/23, 180/24- sent 6/9, taken 7/21

Think I'll take a month or two to watch the market and try figure out where the BLT price is heading before making another attempt.

 

[Mexacajun]

This is my guess for the number of points being purchased.

I think they must be buying in front of a major renovation that will no doubt be beautiful and drive the prices even higher

And it is the UY that I'm looking for. Maybe I'm overanalyzing things, but I have trouble getting the math to make sense. For a 2042 resort, even when it includes 2022 points, you have exactly 20 years worth of points. Compare that with BLT that expires in 2060, that's 18 more years; not quite double, but close.

$105/pt for a 2042 resort is almost like $200/pt for a 2060 resort.

I’ve mentioned on other threads but for me the 2042 math isn’t as bad as it first seems. The price per point per year is worse but that doesn’t capture the full picture.

For $100/pt with 20 yrs left that’s $5 per pt per year. If it were 40 years left this drops to $2.50 per pt per year which you could interpret as meaning $200 for 40 yrs is same as $100 for 20.

However, if you build in time value of money the numbers aren’t as dramatic. As an example I assume a 4% interest rate (my current home mortgage). Therefore in addition to the $5 per point per year I’m also “spending” $4 in additional interest when I spend $100 per pt rather then putting the money to my mortgage. This makes total cost $9 per pt per year for the $100 with 20 years. If you do the same math for $100 40 yrs it works out to $6.50 per pt per year and if you take this math further you find that assuming 4% interest a $100 20yr contract is equivalent to ~$138 for 40 yr contract. It should also be noted this is just looking at cost that is impacted by number of years remaining and purchase price and once you add dues the practical difference in cost of ownership becomes even less important.

Similar, but even better. Old Key West has 49 buildings while Saratoga has 18, so "park right in front of your building" is more like "park directly in front of your door."

 

[Cyberc1978]

Is it me or have the prices slightly decreased the past few weeks?

 

[keirabella2012]

Interesting - so in these cases max allowed on CC is $5000? I have seen some buy the whole contract on CC but I am guessing those are only direct from DVC.

The maximum that we could leave on a CC was $5k on a resale contract. When I purchased my Direct DVC contract I was able to put down as much as I wanted on the CC. I put down $6k because that was 20% which helped me qualify for the better financing rate.

There's not much action on OKW contracts right now. I'm in ROFR for one right now but not likely going to pass. Looks like anything $115 or lower gets bought back.
