Smallest contracts sold

[hhisc16]

what is the lowest point contract ever seen sold?

I saw a ccv 25 point resale with board sponsor this year.

I see a ssr 20 point resale with the board sponsor now.

How were these contracts sold direct?

Those are add ons. You can buy 25 CCV direct right now if you want. starting with Riviera, the minimum was increased to 50.

Years ago, on extremely rare cases (maybe once a year) there would be a deed showing up on the county website for less than 10 points direct.

Unless one of those individuals buying that case deed posts, the best we can do is guess. I believe the guesses were Disney sold them a deed and they immediately realized they needed a tiny amount more than the guide told them.

You could get a 25 point direct contract at CCV today if you wanted. I thought that was the current minimum at some with other resorts have a higher minimum of 50.

I swore I saw a listing entry in the teens in the past few months and thought it was a typo. Can't remember the resort.

Maybe "old" rules let folks do tiny contracts below 25 back then. I imagine folks here know the story better than I do. Now that OTU are capped at 24 pts per year it makes sense for the minimum contract to be at 25 pts.

very interesting!
I thought the minimum for ccv was 50 direct.
I had never seen any contract less than 25 pts on resale for any resort before today.

 

[eticketplease]

There didn’t use to be an option to purchase OTUP.

I believe the minimums are 25 now for all except RIV and newer.

Under 50 is only offered as a cash option.

 

[Cfabar1]

Yes, most resorts allow for 25 points resale...

Existing owners can buy 25 points Poly right now.

RIV, Cabins, VDH do not.

VGF at some times allowed 50, others 25.

We owned a VB 25 pointer, do not own it anymore, someone else has that deed now. The small contracts tend to hold value a little better, but you have to pay extra closing costs.

This is the only contract I can afford if it for the cabins or VB lol

I’ve never seen one lower than 25, but I guess I can see the need to add on less than 25 just to get to a certain number to match the p0int charts.

I believe 50 if you’re new to D.V.C, and 25 if already an owner, and have something to add on to.

Allow what? (I’m misunderstanding, I think)

I think for adding on 25 points directly from Disney although resale was listed?

Looking at https://www.dvcforless.com/listings and selecting the inactive listings, they show there was a 15 point Beach Club a couple years back

I have a vague recollection that shortly after BLT went on sale, there was some issue with points charts adjustments that caused DVD to allow very small add-ons. I can’t remember details, though.

And I don’t recall any similar issue with BCV, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t.

Pretty sure CCV is 50 points min not 25.

My understanding was that DVC allowed less than 50 point contracts at CCV only for those who bought a FW and needed a smaller contract to hit the 150 point minimum. So if your FW cost 120 points you could buy a 30 point contract.

But the minimum for CCV is 50 AFAIK.

I want to say I have seen someone say they have a 5 or 6 point contract for BLT for this reason. We own a 25 point contract we bought back in 2017. I bet there are thousands of 25 pointer contracts out there, but no one is selling them because of the blue card benefits associated with them at the time.

Maybe I was confused there. Honestly now that I think about it, can’t remember if CCV was the last with 25 or the first with 50.

Yep a grandfathered 25point contract is a gold mine, I would never sell it (if I had one)

 

[TCRAIG]

I have 2 tiny BCV contracts I bought back in 2014? or so - 1 is 15 points and 1 is 17 points…I’ll never sell ‘em cause they’re just so unique.

I remember seeing an 8 points contract for BLT, years ago. As Carol said, DVC allowed to buy such small contracts because they reallocated weekdays and weekends right after BLT opened and people were short a few points for the usual vacation they bought for.

Interestingly, now they don’t allow for that. It is your fixed week + minimum add on if you want 150.

That's what happened to us. Bought our initial contract, then 2 months later decided we needed another 25 points. Interestingly, when we sold those 25 points later, we were told they were being bought by someone who wasn't currently a DVC member, who wanted to combine cash and points to "get their feet wet".
