ROFR Thread July to Sept 2022 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

Was considering waiting for the new poly tower, but then figured meh, I want to stay there now! Bring on the Lapu Lapu =). May add on direct when it's available.

I secretly (well, not so secret now) want one too! Great loaded contract!

The_MT---$265-$27286-100-VGC-Jun-0/21, 192/22, 100/23- sent 7/5

Taking the (very expensive) plunge to become a VGC owner! I've been trying to wait for VDH but after staying at VGC for 2 nights last month I'm spoiled and want to be able to stay there a couple times a year. I know VGC prices might go down more once VDH pre-sale is announced but there's also a risk they will go up. If I get this contract and the prices go down later I'll cry a little and then try to think of it similarly to the stock market and reassure myself that the prices will go back up over the long run. I'm so excited to own at VGC!!!

Some interesting points.
- Direct sales in June are down 35% compared to the last 3 months after the VGF2 debut
- OKW and SSR direct sales have plummeted since the recent direct prices increases, 88% respectively compared to last year. (So why is DVD still ROFRing these resorts at such a high rate!?)
- VGF2 is 26.3% sold.
- Riviera is 44.5% sold.
- Someone actually bought a 1000 point BLT direct contract!

So the drunken monkey isn't just running ROFR but all of DVD apparently!

I saw that. Crazy. They must really want access to the TOTWL!

We’re on day 25 of our 4th attempt for SSR.

We got an update from our broker today that the sellers failed to disclose an upcoming trip, so the contract’s closing date had to be amended until mid October.

It’s a 225pt SSR at $123pp, international seller. We decided it was worth the wait and agreed to the later closing, but it’s disappointing bc we’ve been feeding the ROFR monster since March and just want to plan some trips! Now it goes back for ROFR…

That's so frustrating! And it worries the heck out of me. The contract we're waiting for ROFR on has a June use year and none of June 2022's points are available. So that makes worried that my sellers have a trip planned in the future and haven't told us.
Off to email my broker because I don't want any surprises...

Excited for this Poly add-on. I'm not a princess, so I don't need a tower.

Just got back from a week trip with a couple nights each at VGF, BCV, and AKL; it definitely confirmed Poly as my favorite resort overall as well as for my two oldest kiddos. Wife still ranks RIV #1.

Nice price!
I'm still holding out for the Polyday Inn, hoping it's not a dud when it's built.

Ha! Based on Riviera and VGF resort studios, I'm sure it will be wonderfully designed and executed.

Is there a way to see if there is avaibility at a resort for specific dates prior to having access to our DVC account?

The only way that I know of is to ask another member to look at availability for those dates and tell you. It's not allowed on this board though.

Not really. We don’t allow owners to post real time availability here. I believe that www.dvcrentalstore.com may have something that is updated regularly but to be honest, until you can book, it doesn’t matter. Things change very often.

There are certain trends that we see and certain rooms that are always difficult. Mid September to mid January is prime DVC time so many book home resorts then. Studios go faster than 1 bedrooms and near park resorts are more popular than the big three of SSR AKV and OKW.

Some of the rental sites/brokers have availability tools for people looking to rent DVC points that show availability, but they aren't always accurate.

You can always keep using those PVB points at the existing Mauitel 6 buildings...I mean "long houses".

I have found this tool to be accurate: https://tools.dvcvacations.com/points-calculator

I just assumed that 1000 point contract was you!

This is our first resale contract (own Saratoga direct from eons ago). I made what I thought was a low ball offer as it was listed at $133/point and they accepted right away. Now to wait!
