I actually put two BLT contracts on the market last month (to fund my VDH purchase). I probably priced too low on one of them because I got a bit panicky and impatient (a bunch of similar contracts came on the market right after mine and I worried it wouldn’t sell). My larger contract was quickly snatched up when the price was lowered. I’m not sure my smaller contract even made it to listing; it sold for well above what I thought it would, within minutes.

I think contacts are still moving; small contracts move very fast and well priced contracts are moving fast, too. I really thought we were heading for a buyers market but after my selling experience, I’m not so sure.

These haven’t closed yet. If nobody posts the purchases a bit after close, I’ll put them up.

As someone in the throes of BLT-induced addonitis, I'm super curious what yours went for.

That's a super solid deal on a low-points contract with double points! Nice one!

I'm kind of shocked that so many VB and HHs are going for as high as they are.

They don't look that out of line vs. the rest of the past year to me. Fidelity has seen a small bump in Vero, but that could just be due to the specific contracts that sold that month.

People are notoriously bad at Doing The Math, and this is a way into the system with a low up-front cost. That will always be appealing to some people.

HH and VB having a short contract life also makes it easier to justify buying them for some people I imagine.

Can someone explain to me how some contracts can already have 0 points for Dec 2027 allocation? I can see 2026 points being borrowed into 2025 UY, but can't quite wrap my head around 2027 points already being gone too. I'm looking at several contracts that state 0/25 0/26 0/27 but don't mention a delayed closing. The only thing I can think of is the used them for AP or dropped the points into Interval already (can you even do that this far in advance?)

Transferred to another account maybe?

I have also always wondered this but have been too embarrassed to ask...

Thats sounds like the listing is wrong. I cant see how a december use year would be eligible yet.

 

[Chili327]

Exactly, the dues alone have basically reached the breaking point. I'm really surprised.

What would the D\/C math equation be to figure that out?
Dues... lets say at $15/pp, I guess you have to compare point total needed per room vs rack or renting dvc points?

An odd number of points for an even number price, struck me funny. lol
I have an odd number of BLT as well (61)

Someone can trade several years of points for things like ABD or Disney cruise etc.

So, it could be that? You can now transfer borrowed points so someone could have borrowed them into 2026 UY and then transferred them out as well.

I bought my three direct contracts all for odd numbers. That way if I ever add more contracts at the same location via resale they will be easier to tell apart! And it will be easier to tell family “never sell the odd number contracts!”

I haven't looked at resale prices in a while...or this board for that matter, so excuse me if this has been discussed but:

I'm kind of shocked that so many VB and HHs are going for as high as they are. I distinctly remember their downward trajectory, even in the early part of this year was precipitous. We were all estimating that VB would hit 0, giveaway status, in the near future. Not only has that not happened but I'm seeing prices that don't make a lick of sense. And so many of the contracts I perused were stripped or partially stripped to boot. What gives?

I would love to buy VB or HH, but it is tough to make the purchase make sense - in many instances even when compared to cash rates at the resort... (which, admittedly, are tough to get)

Even stranger, there are those buying VB and HH direct.

I don't disagree with your statement at all, however, in the case of VB and HH there are still many contracts that have been listed for a long time. A search on DVC for less for contracts at HH and VB brought up by my visual count 91 total contract between the two. That accounts for almost 10% of all listed contracts as of current.

Approximately 26 were listed within the last two weeks, ~29 between 2 weeks up to a month, then ~ 25 between 1 and 4 months and then ~11 going up to and over a year.

Just looking at VB prices: 2 VBs in the $30s, 18 in the $40s (mostly upper), 21 in the $50s, 9 in the $60s and 4 in the $70s. What's interesting is that two of the listings in the $70s were listed this month.

Not going into HH with the numbers but they seem similar with the highest price pp being listed just three weeks ago! Not to mention many of these are stripped or partially stripped. I'm not sure many people are buying these up but the sellers also don't seem like they're in any panic clearance mode either. To make a VB purchase make sense for me personally, it would first have to be loaded to brim with points and I would need the price at no more that $30 and I'd either use them at VB or I would be rolling the dice that I can parlay those points into high value rooms at 7 months. Either way I'm a bit flabbergasted that the prices have not only seemed to stabilize but have ticked up from what my recollection was from earlier this year. Very interesting the dynamics of the DVC resale market.
