The Bay Area remains super hot due to low supply and pent up spring demand. This is in spite of all the people supposedly leaving in droves. We’ll have to wait and see where it all lands. But I agree, a lot of people willing to move further out for space and their money can go a lot farther there, so why not bid things up. A lot of people are trying to improve their immediate situation by grabbing up vacation homes too.
Maybe....but the rooms are so small at VGC...and DVC is down a labyrinth of hallways. We usually stay there because it’s the best location, but I’d be interested in a new resort at DLH.
But it seems like there is still a market for it? However, I’m still fairly new to these boards so not sure if the activity on those boards is down quite a bit from what it used to be
I am interested and maybe they’ll wow me with the theming, and I’ll change my mind. That said, we really like 1BRs and the plans for DLH seem heavy on studios and light on 1BR and 2BRs...
what did you pay for SSR? I bought last summer and the SSR contracts all seem to be about the same or slightly less than the prices I was seeing last year.
Thanks. I'm in the middle of the bidding process again so the more data the better. I've been bidding at 90 so we'll see what happens (got a counter at 98 but told them no and they want us to counter again so looks like we could get it for less if we decide to pursue) and I'm not bidding on stripped, have to have at least 2020 points available for me to bid.
If you check out the ROFR thread, you'll see that most contracts are actually selling for less than the $97 you paid. Most accepted deals for SSR are in the high $80 - low $90 range right now. Perhaps you are seeing listings for higher than 97, but that's not what people are paying for them...
I'm not an expert, but from what I've seen in listings, it also depends on the size of the contract. I've noticed smaller contracts seem to be asking higher prices per point than larger contracts. Perhaps @RoseGold bought a smaller contract.
When you say 280% of average do you mean the volume of sales is up 280% of average, or the price is up 280% of average.6/15 update
number of newly posted resale contracts at about 280-300% of average*

One of our first trips at the VGC we took a friend who wanted to eat at Napa Rose and bought us a few bottles of wine with dinner ... after dinner he suggested we explore the hotel and take the long way back to the room on the 2nd or 3rd story instead of walking through the lobby. Our tipsy walk back to the room ended up taking us about 45 minutes to get from the Napa Rose to the villa, past a few CMs who valiantly tried to explain how many rights and lefts at the end of hallways to get to our wing.Definitely agree the DVC wing is easy peasy compared to the regular GCH rooms. We’ve gotten lost many times in the regular building, but no problems in VGC.

We’ve thankfully been rescued by the kindly CMs many times! They usually walk us to where we need to be after seeing I’m not the best at processing the left/right directions.
