Will 1 Bed rooms point cost really be lowered?

Yup from a construction stand point, the buildings are cut up into "slots". A studio takes one slot, a one bedroom takes two, 2 bed three, and GV are 6. From an occupancy perspective the studio and then the 2 bedroom are the best values. From realestate aspect, they are fairly balanced. I could see there needing to be a change in point values.

I'm sure this is partly the basis for the current points division but there's no requirement that it continue to be. Reference the THV.

Yeah I see your point and for the majority I agree. However, personally, when I was looking for a resale contract in september, they went quickly when they occurred, and forced me to offer close to asking as soon as one popped up... so I (and others I was in competition with) have paid more for september. At least I think I have paid more-- since I wasn't looking for other UY's, I don't really have that info....

Or it could be as simple as not all UY's have the same number of contracts in them. Maybe the contracts are not distributed equally? Suppose that the Sept. UY only has 1/2 or 2/3 of what the Dec UY has as possibilities?! Then you have a supply & demand situation.

Right--- and the bungalows---- how would you even begin to quantify them? I agree and hope there is a bit of a sway... selfish reasons of course.

That thought process is assuming that most people pay that much attention to UY - which I don't think they do.

Agree with that. Most buyers aren't educated enough to see the value in a specific Use Year. Of those who do understand the concept, some will have no great preference due to vacation habits which touch many different months of the year. Others--particularly those buying resale--will place a greater importance on factors like number of points in the contract and price. It can be very difficult to find a resale contract which meets all of one's top criteria, and Use Year is one of the easiest areas to compromise.

I'm sure there are people who insist on a given Use Year, but I doubt their numbers are great enough to impact pricing.

Most buyers aren't educated enough when they buy and that includes resale buyers though they tend to be inherently better educated as a whole than retail buyers.

My view on such issues is from an objective standpoint looking at it from a legal, technical and system standpoint. It has nothing to do with what I want or what would be better for myself. IMO the only way to quantify them is simply by demand.
