Disney never buys back a 2057... I can't remember a time that they ever have.

Totally disagree - I had an OKW 2057 bought back in 2022.

I have definitely seen buybacks on 2057s.
I’m testing the waters on my current contract, but feeling like ROFR is not going to let it through!

I haven’t seen many November contracts approved or taken. Patiently hoping to hear this week for ours sent on November 14th.

 

[Lolly-lou]

Same here, ours was sent on the 13th. Really hoping we hear this week

 

[The_MT]

The contract office goes into dues mode for the first half of December and won't process any contract transfers during that time. Maybe that applies to ROFR reviews too. Anyone know?

 

[Lolly-lou]

I asked this exact question and someone responded saying that the rofr team are a different department so didn’t matter about the shut down - not sure how accurate it is though

Check out the average sales price of contracts sold from November 2023 through November 2024 by our friends at the DVC Resale Market!

What? The average price for VGC is down to $222?

I wonder if it’s based on one or two large contracts, or perhaps stripped? I haven’t been following VGC closely since our VGC points closed over the summer, but I’d be surprised if there were smaller contracts averaging below $230 unless they were stripped.

As someone who recently closed on a VGC contract at $260/pt, that hurts. The contract I bought had nearly a full years worth of banked points, plus full points for current & next year. And closing happened just in time for me to book my first reservation at 8 months to use the banked points at VGC. Looking at one aggregator listing site, many of the cheaper contracts are fully stripped of current & next years points, so that takes some of the sting out of it.

But I'd like to know more details of whether the $222 VGC average was heavily weighted by stripped contracts.

We should remember the average posted by the board sponsor is just the average for the contracts they sold not any other broker. So they could have sold a very large contract or a very very stripped one to bring that average down. Since they don’t sell a large volume of VGC selling just one at a lower than average price will cause the average to be lowered drastically.

Correct. A large stripped contract with no points for 2024 or 2025 when there are not a lot of sales total will impact the entire average.

It’s better to look at a rolling average over multiple months.

Anyone able to speak to Aulani International to International? Specifically Canadian to Canadian.

Just found out after I asked, but they are reassuring it’s not a major issue with online notaries now…

Kimmzy94---$100-$33,552.10-300-AKV-Sep-0/23, 550/24, 300/25, 300/26-Seller pays 2024 MF, includes 2025 MF- sent 11/8 PASSED 12/9

No explanation for why it took over 30 days, but we passed! I convinced myself Disney would take this contract since it’s loaded and seller paid 2024 dues.

First November contract I see that has passed ROFR. Hoping that turns on the floodgates.
