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

August ROFR per DVCRM was 14 days. Sent 8/27 was 14 days ago, so….should be any day now?

Yes I was hoping mine would go quick too but coming up on day 19 so far. I bet the two weeks was just a fluke.

Way quicker than I thought and the estoppel issued at the same time! AND we got the closing doc two hours later! I hope that doesn’t mean we should have offered lower. Regardless, we’re thrilled! It has full points coming and it matches up with our BCV contract. Great timing for Food and Wine and the holidays.

I'm not counting this as addonitis since we always had the goal of getting enough points for 10 nights in March

ROFR speed and closing doc receipt time has nothing to do with price. Estoppel and ROFR always happen at the same time not sure why that one one broker likes to say “DVC did it in one fell swoop”.

Great price on Boardwalk. Welcome Home

Updated!

I've been out of the DVC game for some time. A lot going on with family and work. Seems like the ROFR monster is pretty much still dormant and prices have roughly stabilized...missing anything new?

 

[Blerghityblergh]

Hoping the thread posts correctly but happy to adjust if not. I put in that we are sellers on this one in the “other” section and this was the generated thread! We finally decided to do direct DVC with the most recent round of incentives (and on our most recent trip). So, selling this one to offset the cost. We are sacrificing some points but decided it’s worth it for us (after swearing direct va resale could never be worth it lol). And feeling very fortunate that when we factor in all the points used we made it out without losing value (and maybe even making a little).

Update! ROFR was quick and merciful. Happy for the buyers (and us)!

This gives me hope - I have a contract that was sent on 9/2!

A nice consolation is that you got a great price! I feel like we might be not far behind you on this, even though we only bought one a couple years ago

As long as there is value in owning the price will remain high(er)

Curious why you are thinking of selling.

Curious why you are thinking of selling.

I don’t want to ruffle any feathers because it really is so personal and I know I’m in the minority here. But I think we’re realizing we ultimately want to like BCV and BWV more than we actually do. I tend to be a massive fomo person unfortunately lol and get caught up in the hype for something even if it’s overhyped or overrated. There are still moments where I’m like hmm maybe I’m wrong about my feelings, grow up. But it’s been quite a few underwhelming stays now. Not bad per se! Just overall, meh.

The crescent lake area is one of my favorite parts of all of WDW but for some reason nearly every time we stay in one of those 2 resorts I find myself wishing I was staying somewhere else. I guess that because with DVC we spend so much more time in the resorts and in our rooms now, we’ve found we don’t really like the style of the older room configurations at all. They start feeling cramped after a day or two, and we try to keep things neat and organized as possible but it’s still cramped and inconvenient. I’m just realizing I don’t need to stay in rooms I don’t feel as comfortable in to enjoy the magic of that area, and we regularly spend some time there every trip no matter where we’re staying.

We have a long BCV stay at the end of next month for the W&D races and that’ll be a final test I think. All of our other trips have been fairly short 2-3 days so it’ll be nice (and telling) to be in the room and resort for more than a week.

So if we end up feeling underwhelmed again, it just makes the most financial sense, while 2042 prices are still high, to sell and get what we can to put towards the resorts we’d rather be at and take our chances at 7mos if we ever miss it. We’re not set on anything so we’ll just see

So true about different strokes, and the nice thing is there’s a special resort (or two) for everyone. Where are you thinking of buying?
