I think the only concern with waiting longer to buy would be when people plan to vacation next yearI think there will be a lot of good resale contracts available towards the end of the year. I would not be in any hurry to purchase right now.

Good point. Just remember if it has banked points to pay attention to when they expire.I think the only concern with waiting longer to buy would be when people plan to vacation next year
I have yet to see any bargain basement prices recently, at least not on SSR. The listings I'm seeing are still all very close in price to what my contract was listed for back in February ??

I was paying attention last year around annual dues time and noticed a lot of good contracts all of a sudden popped up. They stayed around for a good month or so and were mostly all bought up. I ended up adding on direct because I didn't want to bother with all the restriction mess.Is anyone feeling driven by FOLO--Fear Of Losing Out?
I have been looking at the resale prices the last few years thinking --Man, I wish I had bought more points 10 years ago!!
Just six weeks ago, prices were sky high. However, right now I see a few contracts out there for SSR in the mid 90's, and I am very tempted. I would hate to miss out....
Also, I know that many are affected monetarily by this virus, but I have also heard some people saying they are actually saving money (obviously people whose jobs were not affected) because they aren't shopping, vacationing, and they are eating at home. Therefore, is it possible that the market won't be affected as much as we are all speculating because there will be other cash inserted into the market?
So when were you looking? Would they list in October-ish?I was paying attention last year around annual dues time and noticed a lot of good contracts all of a sudden popped up.

Well, being that I am not 100% done with my current contract I would really need a low price on a small point contract.What would be the price to entice you for SSR? Just curious--we are also looking at a small possible add-on.
I will be on the lookout for anything listed at $80/Pt or under for SSR.
The resale contract I just closed on was listed for $96/Pt but sold at ~ $89/Pt.
The stats that the board owner provides monthly had shown that Disney had exercised ROFR at SSR at $85/Pt last month so I think I just got by them on that one.
I understand your concern, but I just bought, and passed ROFR. My thoughts...now is the time to buy because you can get a great deal. I bought 220 points at Boulder Ridge Wilderness Lodge at $88 per point. My feeling is things will definitely get back to a near normal, in time. Once there is a vaccine, it will be like any other disease that you can prevent (predictions are 12-18 months, possibly sooner). I'm in it for the long haul. I'm very confident that in time, I will have zero regrets. Just my opinionGood luck with your decision.
We were looking at adding on to our DVC portfolio, but have pumped the brakes over the last month. While I trust that Disney will come back in full force eventually, I am growing more concerned about how long that will take and what Disney will look like in the interim.Hi everyone,
I don’t mean for this post to sound all doom and gloom but I was wondering if anyone was considering DVC pre-COVID that isn’t so sure now? I’m a huge Disney fan and was constantly on thesearch for my perfect DVC contract prior to COVID, and then even when it happened I was hoping to find a deal. Now that some rumored park changes have been going around, it has me questioning whether I want to buy DVC at all. I just don’t know if Disney will be the same Disney I love after this and it makes me hesitant about making such a high cost commitment. Is anyone else feeling the same way? I’m also hoping to hear from others who can make me feel better about the whole situation.
