Polynesian’s Island Tower Boosts DVC Direct Sales in October 2024

[maui22]

I wonder how many of the sales were from the summer incentives? Many posted they had contracts pending and would close after Oct 1 came with next round of incentives. If they were better, contracts would have been rewritten.

PVB2 sales started October 1, but didn’t show up until October 15. I believe all Oct 1-14 deeds on county websites were September (or earlier) sales.

Even some (no clue how many) of the later October deeds on the county website would be from July-September (delayed closings).

What impresses me most is the total points for all properties reaching a level not seen since revenge travel.

I would think the SSR ones were because it was a really good incentive. Our Riviera contract with summer incentives almost closed in November, but they moved it up a few days and got it in before the end of October.

It’s easy to spend 1000 points a year…. most likely direct SAPs

SAP stands for "Sleep Around Points." When you buy cheaper points with less intent to use them at their home resort but instead "all around."

I think current SSR incentives are at $175pp for 1000 points - not too shabby for direct SAP.

Here is what I show for PVB deeds on the county website over the first month of deeds showing up (October 15-November 14). County is proofed documents through November 13. I have only double checked through November 8. One holiday in there.
Started to see the new member purchases (October 29 and later) in the deeds as of November 13 (3 days worth).
885 deeds for 119,819 points.

10 FW deeds (weeks in parenthesis).

• 4 Tower Studio SV (18, 39, 49, 50).
• 3 Tower Studio TPV (6, 44, 52)
• 2 Tower 1BR TPV (42, 50)
• 1 Tower 1BR SV (1)

When county proofs and I complete a second pass of my November 8-14 data I will update this post if I see anything I have incorrect.

Edit: county proofed through November 13 and I ran a second pass on my data. Only pending November 14 county proof and review of their final data.

Anyone know how long people can delay closings for? Is it delayed over up to 3 monthly payments? Would that be 60-62 days or is that roughly 90 days for delayed closings?

Also, any thought on whether delayed closings have become more common over the years?

We did 90 days. We made the original deposit and then 3 more payments at 30/60/90 days.

So did we, and my guide told me that was the longest they could do at the time (in June 2024).

I don’t recall seeing them mentioned here until the last few years, so I think they’re more common now.

I was able to get 120 days on my last direct purchase.

it was a simple ask followed by a return call 30 minutes later saying “yes no problem”.

Much easier than scoring a stellar deal on the resale market.
