I think many people are missing what I see as your underlying point, it's really basically the same one I made earlier if I'm understanding it. That is that the demand (both sales and usage) is a combination of factors. From a usage standpoint it's simply the desire vs the cost. For sales, other resort and exchange options gets factored in to a degree and dilute the issues of the resort being sold. SSR is a classic example in that a significant portion of people bought at SSR because it was what was being sold at the time, not because SSR was their desired home resort. To a degree ALL
DVC resorts have this phenomena and there are a number of different ways to arrive at that point including new resorts came online after buying, one later decided they liked another resort better, one bought retail and didn't realize there were options and that one purposefully compromised due to ending date or other reasons.
Desire is based on location, amenities and the points structure plus any special incentives that might get thrown in (OKW free passes). Cost factors in the points structure a second time plus the price per point and dues. An OKW 2 BR for a week is a lot more in demand at 100 points than 1000 points to give an extreme example. The recent rebalancing to a degree acknowledges these issues though there's not a lot they can do to rebalance points and thus demand across multiple resorts. About all they can do is control amenities. The balance, or lack of, between resorts is essentially created up front based on the number of points sold. The change in points structure from OKW to BWV is a good study in a system shift related to points structure.
