Contracts (same seller) were bundled for one closing at my request. Savings on bundled closing about $400.

Each contract $2500 for 25 points $195.91 for 25/2020 MF's, $295.75 closing costs. Woo hoo!!

I really thought this one would pass. I didn’t even haggle about it. I only asked for MF to be paid for. Agh. Third times a charm, right?

ETA, I just hope to find a June use year with 2020 points. I was set on SSR but now I’m open to AKL as well. Also I was only going to get 150 points but found the 200. So now I’m okay with 200 and 150 doesn’t seem like enough! Maybe I’ll find one and have a swift ROFR like some of you are having

My3kids1989 I’m so sorry this one got taken and totally know where you’re coming from. We had our second attempt SSR at $102/point taken last month. .... BUT 3rd time is indeed the charm as our 3rd attempt at $101/point passed yesterday . Imho if its what you want keep going - they cant take them all no matter how random it seems. Good luck.
Off to update my string now.

We will close by 12 Jan 2021.
Hopefully I’ve posted that correctly . I was so surprised this passed as fast as it did and at a lower price point than our last attempt. Wondering if the slightly delayed closing put them off it? Who cares it WILL be ours and that’s all that matters

Just got closing docs, and closing fees were a little less ($85 less) than expected! it is now:

Lorana---$80-$4440-50-HH-Sep-0/19, 50/20, 50/21, 50/22-seller pays MF '20- sent 9/21, passed 11/5

Well. We may not end up HH owners after all. Turns out that the seller missed that they would pay 2020 MFs in the offer -- even though the offer they signed clearly calls it out and it's in the contract. I realize that $455.05 isn't a lot in the long play of ownership, but it does put the price per point up to $89.10 instead of at the adjusted $71.80 we thought we'd be paying, if by chance we were willing to concede pay the dues. And we only agreed because those 2020 MFs were being paid by the seller since we wouldn't have points coming into our account until 2021 dues need to be paid.

DH is pointing out that we did pick up VGC after making the HH offer, that HH dues went up by 6.28% in 2020 and is going up by 9.58% in 2021, and that maybe this is the universe saving us from ourselves to leave some money in our savings account and save us from high rising dues. We're going to sleep on this before making a final decision. I hate backing out at this point since I imagine a 50-point Sep UY contract is not common, but Covid did have us spending more on DVC contracts than originally intended with some great deals both resale and direct, so it's not the end of the world to not buy into HH now and see what happens in the next couple of years.

It's funny that I would have been fine if it had been taken in ROFR, but I feel awful backing out of a deal that passed ROFR. Except the seller doesn't want to honor the deal that was agreed to, so I shouldn't feel too bad about this if we do decide to back out.

Won't the seller have to give back something to the broker and you? Their bad for not reading the contract...the sellers will end up with the bill for 2021 as well if they can't find another buyer. It sounds like they lose either way. It's a bummer all the way around but certainly not of your doing! Perhaps the seller will have a change of heart overnight as that anticipated check just floats away...

This includes $195 admin fee and estimated 2021 annual dues. Felt pretty good at the $145 or 148.90 with the admin fee. Originally was $160 a point asking plus fee. Plus I got my same use year!!! Hopefully this will pass.

Such a long story about this listing, I knew it would pass due to international seller but great to get the good news.
My DVC lockdown splurge is complete

Wow, that’s some price! I just bought 50 points at BWV and I paid $140 a point! Congratulations!

That's ridiculous that they're backing out of it -- by the time they sell it, they'll have 2021 dues to pay and no one will be willing to pay their 2020 dues in addition.

Right? I thought it was a little crazy, too. The broker even did the "you have the full 2020 points" pitch, but I pointed out that dues are based on calendar year not on UY, that I won't have the points in my account until December and will not be able to use them in 2020, and I will immediately have 2021 dues to pay. So, no, I do not want to pay 2020 dues.

This was an impulse buy, honestly, and if those VGC contracts had come first, I would never have offered on this HH contract at this time. So DH may be right that the universe is telling us now is not the time for HH ownership.

You should tell the broker that if the sellers backs out, you want to know what incentive you will be given in order to agree to the cancellation of the contract...unless you really don’t care.

It is a contract that should have consequences. Normally, when sellers back out, the broker gives the buyer not only deposit back, but half the commission.

Good luck.

Excellent point, thank you! Looks like the situation may be slightly more complicated, as the broker apparently failed to convey to the seller that our offer included seller paying 2020 MFs. However, the contract clearly states it:

7. MAINTENANCE/TAXES: SELLER TO PAY 2020 DUES

And the seller did sign it. Maybe they just didn't read it.

This was our 4th attempt and finally our first DVC purchase. We have gone yearly for past 7 years so thought we would try to get a little part of the magic. Would have liked more points but a win is a win and this one is double points for the first year.

Oh I’m sorry about this but im going to say yes, that the universe is saying maybe this a way out for you on this one.
