I’d expect Lakeview to remain tradable. BLT is very popular choice for 1BR between extra living space and 2 bathrooms so standard gets spotty even at 8 and 9 month marks for hot point months like Dec and May, but Lakeview 1BR should stay smooth sailing at 7 months.

1BRs are usually just the size of two studios, and 2 to 2.5 times the point usage. BLT is a sweet deal!
All DVC owners have to deal with the 7 month shuffle unless they plan sticking with home resort(s) year after year. I think important to keep in mind since families’ preferences often change, so where they started out becomes less crucial. It’s not a bad idea to enter DVC in stages. Get in at a resort and cost that’s comfortable, get the experience to decide ultimately where and how many points best fit your unique travel.
