SSR going price per point?
 

A cursory glance suggests that SSR's p/p is reselling around $65...would that be accurate? I'm also assuming that this p/p would have a better shot of making thru ROFR if I were to purchase? I'm just trying to estimate costs...

It will give you a good idea of what actual prices are.

We made it through last month at $55 per point for a 150 point contract. Reading the "Monthly ROFR" thread it seems OKW is the resort being mostly impacted by ROFR.

Also, when looking at the p/p price, be sure to value points in the contract as well.
For example I'm buying a contract for 58$ per point, but it is loaded, having almost all the previous UY point banked. I valued those 10$ per point and my contract so equals for me to one at 50$ pp with only the current UY point.

Price also depends on the number of points. The smaller the contract, the more desireable and the price runs a little higher per point. The higher number of points, the lower the price. In other words, a 25 or 50 point contract usually is higher per point than a 160 or higher point contract.

We closed a few weeks ago on 240 points at SSR for $57.5 pp with full points available for 2013.

My offer was sent for ROFR last week on a 200 point contract @$50/pt. Contract was loaded with all 2012 points immediately available. I feel good about that contract as I've seen a *few* that were better than that price, but most were a few bucks higher than what I paid. As others have said, it all depends on how you value those immediate points whereas I was in no rush so I didn't really care if I got this one or if I offered $50/pt on the next.

That's a very good deal.

Best of luck with ROFR!

Just closed on a 255 pt SSR contract last week. $55 per point. 170 2012 points which previous owner banked into 2013 for us and full 2013 points. April UY.

would a 120 point resale pass ROFR for mid to high $50 a point? Or would I'd be looking at something closer to $60?

That should pass no problem. It is extremely rare for a SSR contract to ever get ROFR'd.

Hey...noticed you are a fellow canuck! How do you find DVC as a timeshare? Would you purchase into it again if given a redo? Any additional things to keep in mind as a Canadian?

If you have time and patience, offer what you want to pay for the points even if it is low and see if you get a willing seller. This is a good time to buy (low) since people may be interested in "unloading" their contracts before maintenance fees are due.
Unless the accepted offer price is ridiculously low, I cannot see DVC ROFR'ing anything from SSR.

we are just finalizing on a 220 SSR @61, I know some might think thats high, but it was loaded with all points from 2011 and forward. we will pay 2013 mf but seller paid all others. Since I know I wont use the 2011 and 2012 points and we had renters for these @10/per i figured thats like a 41/point contract, and still all 2013. So in that case I didnt mind paying 61.
What you have to look at and accept is the same as your airline tickets, be happy with your price, there is always going to be someone who will/might get better then you. How much time and effort are you will to put into getting the lowest price.

Agreed. I bought a resale with a different home resort with 105 points in 2012 in which the seller already paid the membership fees. Thats like a free $1K if i choose to rent them.
