DVC for less has taken the fun out of treasure hunting

This exactly! A partially stripped Riviera for $172 point is highway robbery and needs to be 1 Star.

Otherwise, I love the site and I spend way too much time on it trying to get the perfect contract.

Wouldn't be surprised if that's to cover the balance on their loan

Bingo! I saw that today and was like "in what world...?". Sometimes I wish listings came with a comment section lol.

Those resale restrictions really kill the residual value of that resort relative to its quality.

I recommended that to @rferrar1 once. They are trying to be impartial on the aggregator. And I can see how that can be abused, someone sends their cult like following from their Facebook group to spam it with good/bad comments driving to/away from certain listings. But it would be nice to have somewhere to discuss live deals, like "this one might look loaded but you wont be able to bank that by the time you close", "They have a extended close", "This 1000pt isnt going to move until it huts $xx p/p", etc.,. Maybe even talk about rejected offers on there, can see specifically what contract it is instead of trying to back into it from the little information on the other thread here.

I’ve always wanted this for Zillow.

I wonder what it will get to once direct points aren’t available anymore. Will it climb?

Personally, I doubt it as it’s only going to get older and less shiny and new over time…but we will see.

It'll still be way newer than any other Epcot resort for a good while. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Yes, but it has by far the worst location of any resort that are called an “EPCOT” resort. Although, I guess this makes Caribbean Beach an EPCOT resort too….

Disney says CB is an Epcot resort too.

Forever grateful to the CM who talked me out of CB into Beach Club on our first trip.

We very much wanted to stay there in March, but were told by someone I trust that someone’s first stay shouldn’t be when SAB is closed….

Probably true. But it is always so cold when we travel we barely even hit the pool and I still love it! It isn’t perfect but being there makes me happy.

My first Disney trip was as an eight year old staying at the Disneyland Hotel. And I still remember how amazing and beautiful it all was, and playing Marco Polo in the pool. Great memories! I haven’t been to DCA or Grand Cal but I bet I would love it.

It makes sense that you would want a home resort with a fantastic pool with memories like those.

Well, they're still working on the walkway to Germany

I got excited when I got the email alert, read it, cleared my eyes, read it again...

I was hoping it was a $127 asking price/typo but.. that's one hefty loan repayment

For a newer resort it has been a pretty poor resale performer. I think the appeal is to a minority of resale buyers who dont have access to the resort and wanted to buy some points to go there every now and then and rent them when not using them. The further we get from the initial date I think the supply of people who want those RIV points will be less not more at least until the 2042 resorts get so close to expiration that people want to run to a different resort that has a direct transportation option of sorts to Epcot and HS.

"Poor resale performer" is only good news for me. I don't plan on selling it, but I can imagine buying it.

It's sort of like watching your retirement accounts tank in your 40s. That's awesome news, because in your 40s, you're a buyer, not a seller.
