Stop the Greed


In the short term, let the resale market get flooded with contracts. Wait for prices to go down, and then strike while the iron is hot.
The (what I assume are) corporate renters who are dumping contracts are just letting those contracts stay at whatever price they're listed for--at least for now. This has been going on since last Oct/Nov.
 
Only because they were Oct, & all my other WDW is Sept, & i found it to be more hassle that I was willing to deal with, definitely in the market for 60-80pts Boardwalk... but no rush, I'm excited to see what comes in the next year for pricing. :)
Hmmm… so after using the product you found that having your points in a single UY was more important than the lowest ppp upfront….

Que up the “but multiple waitlists!” brigade.

I look forward to you rejoining the BW family!

Indeed will pay more for the same UY.!! *Lesson Learned*

I'm already itching and I have 2 trips booked. lol


I have only noticed this for some listings with one broker and those are cross posted at Fidelity, haven’t noticed for others
Not sure if cross posted or not, but I have seen a lot of identical contracts for sale in multiple places.
 
The contracts that I looked at had a delayed closing, and they were stripped, so I think some of the owners got the message. BUT! the prices for the stripped contracts are still really high comparatively.
They are high. It makes sense that the people who were in it for max profit aren't interested in selling for a penny less than they can get... but they might be in for a rude awakening if they're all trying to sell for $10-25 above median price, if Disney isn't letting them rent anymore.

I've seen it too, reasonable contracts come and go and others sit forever at high prices-- the real wildcard will be if Disney actually blocks them from making new rentals or cancels the ones they have. Then the "I'll just wait for a desperate/uninformed buyer to come along" strategy starts to fall apart.

In my experience, multiple UY with more than 150 points per UY is a whole different universe than multiple UY at/below 100, and I bet less than 50/UY is even more extreme. Especially if you ever want to do a dining res or enchanting extra, etc., that requires you to book out more than 60+2.

Unfortunately, it's an expensive lesson! I would love to move 2 contracts under 150 into UY with their friends but you'd be taking at least a 10% hit on commission plus closing costs on the new points... I am sure it's even uglier the smaller the contracts get, when you think about closing costs on 30 points.

Definitely... 2x25 was a headache & I haven't even taken the trips yet, my hassles were in just booking, not scheduling dining, etc... yet.
 
The market in general has created some odd stagnancy lately... sellers wanting higher prices and buyers wanting lower ones...

but the nature that we are seeing so many listings posted in multiple places is quite interesting, and makes me strongly suspect some of those contracts are held by commercial outfits.

My guess is they're all hoping to get out before 2026 dues time, but who knows...

Several of my properties of interest I still find to just be too high in price... Looking for some beautiful beach points, but just can't make the numbers work quite yet.... I'm hoping Disney will help me out when 2026 dues come out!
