I believe @TheDailyMoo had this happen with Fidelity and Fidelity paid what was owed in the contract for the missing points, not the seller.

This is correct it was Fidelity that made me whole by cutting me a check. It wasn't without a little pushback from me though but in the end they honored the 25 pp

November 2025 DVC Resale Update

Average resale prices across all resorts held steady at $121/point this month — no big swings, just a quiet month with small ups and downs.

What should get your attention though:
The newly announced $500 resale contract‑transfer fee slated for Jan 1, 2026.
That fee could push smaller resale deals up by $10/point — a game‑changer.
We’re watching how that might shift buyer behavior, resale pricing, and market demand in 2026.

And we all thought it would drive prices down not up .. $10 a point.

This $10 apply to smaller contracts like 25pts?

I see the DVC Fan material as marketing, not reporting
Better line would have been to simply say "total costs will increase by $500"

 

[Sandisw]

And we all thought it would drive prices down not up .. $10 a point.

I took it as it could add up to $10/pt to the total for buyers since it’s a flat fee.

Buying 50 point contract, for $100…this now becomes $110.

But a 100 point for $100…this makes it $105.

Which may mean buyers lower their asking to account for it if they are responsible or sellers might raise their price to account for it.

Or, will it just be seen as the cost of going resale and be accepted since the savings against direct is still strong…and if it does come with the increased speed, people might be okay with paying it?

The smaller contracts will have a harder time absorbing the $500 bump, just like they have a harder time absorbing the $175 (now $225?!) "service fee" tacked on by www.fidelityrealestate.com

 

[TheDailyMoo]

The broker who said they didn't know about the $500 fee by Disney got back to me saying that yes indeed that is true and that it was negotiable. At which point I asked for clarification as to if it's negotiable between buyer and seller not broker or Disney...and as we already know it's between buyer and seller. I wonder how this will affect the negotiating dynamic. When I make offers, especially with Fidelity I ask the seller to pick up the $225 fee and sometimes even ask for them to pay the closing costs. Now with another 500 it's going to take away some leverage from the buyer looking for a good price it seems. I'll be interested to see who ends up "traditionally" paying the $500 once it's been in effect for a longer time period to give us valid data points.

I’m waiting for the howls of “they wouldn’t accept my low ball ppp, seller pays dues, seller pays closing costs, and seller pays transfer costs fees offer!”

And a 25 point for $100 would make it?

Maybe the default will be to split? (negotiable)

But its true, they didn't accept my lowball, seller pays dues, & closing??

 

[airjay75]

I actually think this would be quite a good way for brokers to approach the $500 "contract administration fee."

Seller picks broker, and pays broker commission.

Buyer picks title company and pays closing costs (granted, some brokers push back on picking your own title company).

No one can pick who does the administrative work of transferring the contract, so why not split it 50/50? Seller can't sell their contract without DVCM's help and buyer can't buy it without it either.

It should end up being a good thing, it will probably include a 3rd gate and a 4th hotel (& D\/C)

Here is more than you would ever want or need to know about what could be…

Thanks for the link. Great video.
I highly doubt it. But hopefully that new DVC does not have the transient tax per night.

Transient tax in Anaheim is here to stay and will be on all future DVC properties there by agreement with the city and Disney.

Yep, it’s in Anaheim so I would assume it would be added, and maybe even increased. Possibly decreased if Disney does some negotiating.

All the more reason VGC are more attractive.

You should look at ToT, years left, price, point chart, point chart seasonality (it differs greatly), and dues for full/best comparison. They do differ a lot. One may be better for you than the other, especially based on when you travel and which rooms you want.

 

[Wedgeout]

A $500 transfer fee sure won’t ever be paid by this buyer lol. Soon sellers will pay us just to take it off their hands.

Congrats on all the “passes”…resale is the way.

 

[atthebeachclub]

Who pays the $500 will likely vary depending on how desperate either the buyer or the seller are.
