Dadladd428---$125-$6772-50-OKW(E)-Mar-0/21, 0/22, 25/23, 50/24-International seller- sent 7/11, passed 8/8

Sigh. I want an OKWE so bad. Honeymoon resort, so lots of nostalgic memories of baking in the sun at the Turtle Pond bus stop.

Just wondering, what was the lowest offer you ever made within this year? Is there such thing as “laughable?

I made an $85 on a big Aulani and received a $100 on a 200 Saratoga.

I had a seller apparently get offended that I offered $150 on a partially stripped 50 point BWV

Not extended, but I've seen a couple International Seller contracts listed at $90/pt.

 

[keirabella2012]

Oh wow this makes our AKV contract currently in ROFR look pitiful. We offered $132 for 210 points and only 195 are left for 2022.

Have you heard anything about your AKV contract yet?

I recently offered $93 pp on a double loaded Aulani. Seller rejected flat out without countering

Nope. Went to ROFR on 7/13 so hoping by the end of the week! Feels like a complete coin toss with AKV.

That is almost the exact same contract I have in ROFR right now after my first attempt was taken. (No banked points on mine though). I hope we have the same results you did

DVD definitely funds MA, whether it’s all of it or most of it

From what I was told when I inquired, just like sales guides are not paid for by owners, neither are the CMs that handle the transfer of contracts.

It Also sounded like they have a dedicated team that deals with direct contract creations.

Thank you for this info. I would love to know the source if you have it. There seems to not be much info about membership administration. Are these fees the 12.5% Management Fee of the resort budgets that we pay to them?

I can certainly understand why it's so easy to get direct points if there is a dedicated team for direct contracts. But there are also more members who are buying direct than who are buying resale (based on dvcnews showing 900 to 1900 contracts per month, the average seems to be about 1200 per month for 2022, versus DVC resale market's 2700 contracts through June or 450 avg per month. And yes, I know there are other brokers, but DVC Resale has the largest market share and that's what info I could find).

If staffing is the concern, then it appears that direct contract administration certainly gets staffed at a higher priority. Or the system prioritizes their entry faster- even before deeds are recorded.

Obviously, DVD is going to spend more to get direct contracts in place. I don't doubt that at all. And hopefully, members with resale contracts aren't waiting the full quoted time for the transfer, but it's such a disconnect that I don't think it's something that we should be okay with long-term. How many people complete a lengthy and expensive real estate transaction to buy a house and then after closing get told, "you can see the house in 6-8 weeks, and then you can probably move in within 1-2 weeks after that."

I hate the opposite too- having the seller accept without countering- because then I feel like I could have come in lower.

Oh yes!

yah that’s why I always low bid and hope they’ll counter. makes me feel better about giving them all my money!

Thinking of selling my small pop-up camping trailer. Bought it new in 2018 for $8,500, it's now worth about $8,500. After a few years I just couldn't get my wife and kids onboard with the whole dirt-and-mosquitoes thing. Already spending the money in my mind.

Boy do I wish the Fort Wilderness cabins were a DVC association. Those golf carts are a blast.
