So many stripped resales…

[HyperspaceMountainPilot]

Back on the topic of resale listings… not only are a lot of listings stripped, but the total number of listings is significantly down from a month or two ago. I’m assuming this is cyclical/seasonal but there aren’t a lot of “good deals” right now. Do we expect that to turn around in the fall? Winter?

I bid on a couple of BCV contracts earlier this year that were priced about $20 above the max of what I was willing to pay. On one of them we got within $5 of each other and I checked in periodically but they decided to pull the listing (that's what the broker told me), the other is still there AFAIK (I stopped being interested in buying a few weeks ago). I suspect some came off the market when commercial renters stopped believing Disney would actually crack down but others just decided they'd rather not sell at all then get 10% less than the price they feel entitled to... just to say, the number of listings coming down doesn't necessarily mean it's a hot sellers market... only that there aren't currently many owners eager to sell.

It's really hard for me to imagine what's going to push resale prices UP in the next 3-6 months (maybe a surprise interest rate cut that doesn't blow out the long end of the yield curve?), but many possible things that could nudge (or jolt!) resale prices down.
