Prices for resales

[DannysMom]

Any deals made now the 2013 dues will need to be paid in full to get to closing. So sellers will not be willing to give up any of "their" profit to do so. But you are also correct that you will not get anything for those dues until the last third of the year. So absolutely adjust your offers accordingly.

The 2013 dues will have to be paid in full. If the buyer is not willing to pay them and then reimburse you for the half (i.e. split), then you would be required to pay them in order to fulfill the responsibility of the owner. However, simply calculate that cost and deduct it from your offer (same out of pocket cost in the long run).

Rachel has been absolutely fantastic with us as well. She's willing to present whatever offer you want but is willing to let you know when you're getting to a danger zone as well with breaking a deal. She does a great job of navigating her responsibilities to both the seller and the buyer and in dealing with her I've never once felt put out or that she wasn't on my side. After this purchase another resale isn't in our future, but I wouldn't want to work with anyone else.

Hahaha, that's what you think. But addonitis is real and it will sneak up on you faster than you think.

We got hit with addonitis four days before closing on our first one. We're now under contract and that really is it. We have plenty of points to grow into and enough to travel every year. With a 12 hour drive to Orlando, I'm pretty sure once a year is about as much as anyone can handle it.

The family is however excited that even before we've taken our first trip, being a DVC member just "feels" different. Our ADRs are made, our rooms are booked and there's absolutely no pressure at all for any of the rest of it. I think this has put us in the mindset of just enjoying DVC for a good, long time.

Remember that there's a chance that people who pay a little more don't want to report their sale because they may think they paid too much and feel cheated, or something like that. I know that I'm waiting on something now that was higher than the average prices shown here. It's a smaller contract, so I don't feel too bad about it, and it works out a to a few hundred dollars. I will report here when I get word, but I don't want to jinx the deal.

Remember, self reporting is typically filtered, especially when there's nothing to brag about.

I was about to post the same thing.

Averages here will be lower than general. Both because people are more likely to report a good deal than an OK one, and because DISers are pretty educated going into the process.

I just sold a house. I'd listed it for a "more than reasonable" price - and the first offer came in lowball. My realtor presented it (as required), but because my price was reasonable, by the end of the weekend I had a bidding war between six buyers. I ended up selling the house for more than it was probably worth

I'd sell my DVC contract the same way - listing it for a low price, and "considering" all offers for as long as I could before accepting one.

If you have time to be patient, you can get a good deal. But resale takes time even if you get accepted on the first go. If you need to use the points in the next 12 months or less, consider the risk of not having those points when you need to book a room.

She is wrong you offer what you want they have to present it. I did not pay any MF the seller agreed to I used Rachael at Fidelty
