ROFR Thread July to Sept 2025 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

I think they just stick these in a hat and pull them. So crazy. A BW gets bought back at 129 and I just paid 101. Buying back an SSR at 101?

 

[Maleficent85]

I would say more in the $110s to $120s. We have not seen the $100 level, although I could be mistaken.

We bought a completely loaded RIV a little over a year ago it was a 350 point October contract. It had banked 2022s and beyond if I remember correctly. I saw it posted at 10pm for $103 a point. My husband was already asleep but I woke him up and we immediately made a full price offer on it. I consider that contract to be an outlier and not an accurate indicator of the current market.

Very excited to be able to post our first ever contract:
Gooner357---$82-$20384-240-SSR-Mar-0/24, 0/25, 280/26, 240/27-Seller pays MF on 37pts from 2026- sent 8/1

I think they’re out of stock, and we do have one or two direct contracts sold each month. They’re probably filling orders or request from sales.

I'm certainly hoping that's the case. They did have a promo for SSR direct last month so my assumption is that's where the demand came from and the reason for the buy backs. Doesn't seem to be on offer this month so fingers crossed. A nervous 25-30days now awaits !

July 2025 = The Great ROFR Reset!​

We’re talking 26 buybacks across 9 resorts—the most we’ve seen all year. Beach Club, Boardwalk, Boulder Ridge, Copper Creek, Saratoga Springs, and even Vero Beach all saw ROFR activity for the first time in a while.

DVC is clearly watching the resale market closely... and making moves.

What triggered it? Some contracts sold well below average resale prices—like Copper Creek at $118/pt (vs. $136 avg) and Vero Beach at a wild $37/pt.

What was the size of the BWV contract? Loaded, stripped?

Neither loaded nor stripped, really? There was a 75 pointer with and October UY with 59 points in 2025 and full points after that. The other was a 210 pointer December UY with full points for 2025 and beyond.

I agree they are trying to collect points to have on hand for direct requests, but that doesn’t explain taking a non-loaded Dec contract close to $130 but not taking a fully loaded Dec contract under $105–which is what @VGCgroupie scored last month.

They had money this month and they didn’t last month?

 

[Brian Noble]

that doesn’t explain

You know what does explain it?

Can it just be they ran out of Dec contracts this month?

Or maybe a “ unit” thing?

Let me set the scene for you:

DVC Guide: "Hey Joe, we got any BCV points laying around? I got someone wants to buy right now!"
ROFR Department person: "Let me check..."
checks ROFR pile on desk, BCV contract happens to be on the top of the pile
ROFR Department person: "Oh here's some"

The End

You gave that as a hypothesis when they weren’t ROFRing VGC even though it made a ton of sense for them to and then they started.

I think there is some randomness within given parameters.

 

[Brian Noble]

Here's a better way of saying what I am trying to say.

Every individual ROFR decision has some justification within the halls of DVD. Those justifications can (and apparently do) change quickly and unexpectedly---at least, I've never heard tell of the Nostradamus Of ROFR. Yet, folks in the DVC ecosystem insist on trying to figure out What Is Going On.

Nothing is going on other than, at the moment some particular contract is being considered, Disney decides it does (or does not) want it. Yes, there are general trends, but those are always backward looking, and while ROFR decisions show a form of temporal locality, it's still not predictive in the short term beyond "Well, I guess probably (not)."

Even in times when ROFR is active, there is no easy way to tell if Contract X is going to be taken or not, because they have not been consistent even in the short run---things have always passed at the same or lower prices than a price something very similar that was taken.

Conspiracy theory time
Maybe that means BWV/BCV extensions (or expansions under some sort of shared use plan) are coming in the future
...
But I highly doubt it. At least until I hear it from a bus driver
