ROFR Thread July to Sept 2019 *PLEASE SEE FIRST POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS & FORMATTING TOOL*

[poofyo101]

I did...

9/6 - Contract went in for 206 points of PVB.
9/10 - Got impatient, convinced myself I wanted direct and the contract wasn't going through and I'd be left with nothing. Bought 75 points direct, AKL to avoid the 100 minimum.
9/22 - Got impatient again, made offer for 125 AUL.
9/25 - PVB Contract passed.

Now I'm wondering what the heck I'm going to do with 3 contracts for a total of 406 points - we originally planned for 150-200 points total. So I started looking at grand villas this morning and already listed my 75 AKL points for rent. DVC is NOT going to save me any money at all...



You'll be fine! Better than ending up like me...

I made an offer on AUL as well yesterday. There were some AKL that I liked but all pending now.

It’s so hard to resist that temptation, let me tell you. The irresponsible part of me says that I should just put in another offer and I can always rent out the points if I get both. The responsible part of me says “do you know how much upfront money that is?!?! That’s not what your savings is for!!” ;-)

What was yours? I'm suspecting you found a better deal than mine given how well you did with the PVB.

That's what I told myself. I can rent it out. The value goes up! Cheaper than renting the extra points if I need them. It'll eventually break even. The prices keep going up. Now I'm staring at that upfront total cost!!

This all started by me going - hmm. I wonder if I can get to stay in some nicer places for what it would cost to stay in Art of Animation....so much for that!

Yinn---$128-$26500-206-PVB-June-0/18, 21/19, 206/20, 206/21-Guaranteed Week 52- sent 9/6, passed 9/25

Great Price! Wonder how low PVB will go in the next few years. Must kill DVC not to ROFR this one when they are selling Direct at $235/point. My guess is they are sitting on a lot of extra PVB points of their own and can't get them rented out.

Hoping my broker Fidelity is just slow in sending me some good news. Not sure if any of the recent passes went through them.

I got far more communication from my title company (Mason Title) than I ever did from Fidelity.

The above passed ROFR on 9/17.

HTXdvcDad---$105-$13,125-125-SSR-Dec-0/18, 0/19, 125/20, 125/21- passed 9/17

Could you please reformat that with the link in post #1? It won't be able to go on the list otherwise and we'd hate to not have that one in there!!

HaHa. You too? I was about to put in a direct offer when I got word my first resale passed. That was enough to talk me off the ledge. Hopefully I can stay down until I find out if my second resale contract passes.

Broker emailed me on mine. Then title company followed up the next day. My second is with fidelity, so I expect (based on how slow the contracting process went) that they'll take a few days to tell me when they do hear from Disney.

We are waiting on Fidelity. Sent 9/13. Hoping we find out this week or early next but sounds like I shouldn’t hold my breath then lol

A large part of why we bought PVB is because we feel it's at the bottom. At that price point, it's 50% of direct pricing (Guaranteed weeks are 10% more - $258/ppt) A monorail resort, low dues, and still a majority of years left. We'd feel good about staying here, as well as protecting our value. I just can't see a resort like this hitting $100/point.

What's strange is that on the resale market PVB isn't popular. But if you visit a lot of the availability sites, and rental sites. They all have PVB as one of the most in demand resorts. So there seems to be a disparity from wanting to stay at PVB vs wanting to own it.

HaHa. You too? I was about to put in a direct offer when I got word my first resale passed. That was enough to talk me off the ledge. Hopefully I can stay down until I find out if my second resale contract passes.

Yea I wish I received word 5 days earlier. I wouldn't have looked back, now I'm caught in a bind as to whether or not to proceed because I think it's a pretty good deal:

Yinn---$100-$13269-125-AUL-Jun-0/19, 0/20, 125/21

The advantage is that it's exactly the same UY as the other two contracts. Plus, seller is going to pay for '19, '20 dues. So I'm not losing out on anything for those 0 points in the first two years aside from opportunity cost. Last bit - the dues are subsidized.

Disadvantage - no points for 2 years. Which may not matter since I have the other two contracts.

How long does it usually take for Fidelity to communicate back? I suppose this means I should stop hitting refresh on my email and accept it will be at least a few more days. (13 days in and counting...)

I heard from the title company that I passed ROFR at 17 days, and then Fidelity emailed me that I passed 5 days later, so you are still in the "normal" window.

I know. I just dream of being in the early window and all the people who submitted 9/11 and who have passed are making me hope I’ll hear today or tomorrow
