I've been looking on and off for about a year. We weren't in a big rush, so it was easy to be patient. In early November last year I found an OKW contract that was perfect. The resort we wanted, the UY, reasonably priced, and it was loaded. Offer was accepted right away but we lost it in ROFR. About 2 weeks before Christmas I found a SSR contract that was even better, same UY and also loaded, but more points and a cheaper price. Passed ROFR just before Christmas.
We were pretty lucky that we found another contract so quickly after losing the first. We didn't mind switching resorts since the contract length at SSR is longer. We wanted OKW because the rooms are the biggest and that's where my parents and my brother own, but since we got more points for less money and a longer expiration date, we're happy.
Now I'm looking for a BRV contract, but that's turning out to be way more difficult. Again, not in a rush, but if we can't get a BRV contract by October of next year, we're thinking we'll just buy CCV. We really want to own at Wilderness Lodge. Hopefully we'll start seeing CCV on the resale market next year but if not, we may just end up buying direct.
