Will BLT hold it's resale value better?

[nunzia]

I think BLT will sell at a higher price per point than the other 9 resorts for a few reasons, however, in my opinion it is partly because you are paying so much per point for the property. It is also because it is not a very large resort so not as many owners. If there are not so many owners then typically not so many sellers and the fewer BLT on the market the more the BLT owners can get per point.

I do, however, believe if someone buys resale they will typically be able to sell their property at or near the same price they bought in with some exceptions. As you mentioned when Saratoga Springs first hit the resale market it sold between $78 and $83 per point and now the market has settled typically between $67 and $71 per point.




From experience at The Timeshare Store, Inc.® this has not been the case. We had a Grand California sit on the market for 4 months. It was orginally listed at $112 per point and finally sold at $83 per point. I think Disney is disappointed with the demand for this resort as well and they are running some great cast member discounts at this resort (unless they have stopped).

Wow..and Disney let it pass ROFR at that?? holy cow. I saw one listed at high '80's and thought for sure Disney would buy it back. I did notice some contracts listed, but since you can buy direct from Disney at well under 100, I don't think high resale prices would sell right now. Yes, Disney is probably disappointed right now..poor timing and a park where people still don't really know what all is there, plus a great deal of construction in DCA. But...when this place sells out, DCA is done, bright new things happen at DL, I still say that this resort will be one to own if you want to visit DLR.
