How much extra time? Our rep told us international will actually go quicker.

I think there was an extra day or so with the notary, and another day or two waiting on their FIRPTA agent.

It was sure faster than getting taken in ROFR and starting over.

Aaaaand third contract taken on ROFR. Wondering if it will ever happen! But I’m nothing if not patient and already have an offer in on another contract.

JKS DVC---$130-$13699-100-AKV-Jun-0/21, 0/22, 100/23, 100/24- sent 8/1, taken 8/30

Sounds good - - I'm sometimes tempted to part with some of my SSR points, but only if I could parlay that transaction to gain some more BCV points. I think I will ultimately cave in and add BCV to our existing total, but am still hoping for a slight price reduction in BCV on the resale market. Glad to hear your 1K Club status is still in tact!

There is a newly listed contract at $145pp.

Wasn’t really expecting this one to pass, on to the next! 0 for 3 so far this summer…

PASSED!! I can't believe it!

I tried to buy a OKWE listed at $120/100 points fully loaded, but (as I anticipated) it turned into a bidding war...which irritates me to no end. But we did win one from the crazy ROFR lady LOL!

Awesome!!!! I had a 25 OKW(e) taken at $137/pt in June. Glad you got one through!

I just met two families staying at CCV who just bought direct at $240pp while on their trip. I asked if RIV was being pushed by the guide and why they didn't consider RIV or GFV. RIV was absolutely being sold as "best value for dollar" with incentives but they passed on RIV because of location. GFV was not their vibe. Went with CCV for full price because they love the theme and location. I asked about RIV restrictions... they didn't care about them but did say their guide disclosed it which I thought was surprising. Good on that guide for being transparent.

Interesting how people view DVC! But to @Sandisw point... restrictions don't always matter to many buyers. Met another family at MNSSHP last night and they bought RIV after a tour. Fell in love with the resort and also had no concerns about resale restrictions.

It's amazing the conversations that find you when wearing a DVC backpack.

Everyone loves DVC differently in their own way. The appeal for CCV IMO other than the theming are the contract length, non restrictions, relatively low dues, and the small size of the resort. I think the demand for it will always be there.

And the point chart. When we bought our first contract DVD was actively selling both CCV and RIV. While the resale restrictions did give us pause, the point chart was the deciding factor for us buying CCV. We've added on to CCV multiple times since then (mostly by resale) because it's hard to beat the expiration, lack of resale restrictions and point chart. Plus we absolutely love the resort!! At the end of the day everyone just needs to buy what works for them and there is no right or wrong answer.

To me the strange thing about CCV is really no rental demand. I rent some and on the sponsors rental site have never seen a rental for CCV to claim. Tons of BCV , PVB and some AKV and a few BWV. In 2020 I bought a CCV resale with some banked points which I was not going to be able to use in the next year and placed on 2 sites to rent with no takers for several weeks. I then placed to transfer and quickly taken by a member.
CCV seems to be valued by DVC members but not by the public. hope it stays this way

For rental, studios that sleep 5 are typically more popular (VGF, BCV, Poly, RIV, etc). CCV’s studios are small and no split bath so I can see why it’s not a popular rental. We are a 2 bed family and CCV is one of our homes. We love it there.

I've bought international at least three times. No extra wait time though they were Canadian sellers. Good luck!

Our seller is Canadian too. Fingers crossed!

Cool. Thanks for the info! Makes me glad I bought CCV a couple years ago.

 

[Paul Stupin]

Everyone doesn’t go in expecting or care about how they will get out if it. And I think that is okay.

Of course, some finance and may end up having to sell sooner rather than later because something happens, and take a loss. But chances are, if your sellers had to sell that fast, they most likely had more important issues going on that forced them to sell.

But what is says is that people buying direct go for the resort they want or what is the best option for them, and that could include RIV with restrictions

I also think this is a good indication that we won't be seeing these resale restrictions go away any time soon.

BRV and CCV are in demand in November and December but not the rest of the year. People love to rent Poly. I’m seriously thinking buying Poly just to rent and Poly is the most economical DVC resale points at WDW. I offered a couple really low offers but they were no go.
