The large number of new Aulani resale contracts??

The plot thickens…. I hope this is the case…

The plot does thicken... I do hope this is the case. I am all for owners utilizing brokers to rent out unneeded points and the broker taking a cut. I am not for brokers mass owning and renting.

Looked at the current listings count per broker again.

It looks like the yearly fire sale is starting to begin.

It is weird that the 4th/5th largest broker has the 2nd most listings.

It's starting to look more like some brokers are leaving / are being forced the rental business. But they're assembling contracts one resort at a time. Somewhere in that holding, I'm guessing, will be a bunch of Beach Club contracts.

Anyone recall what this one broker had in confirmed reservations at Aulani as of a few weeks ago? Seems like it’s a smaller portion of their overall listings lately, feel like it was a lot more before

I hadn't been looking at the rental numbers but someone else did. I may start tracking it. Mainly because I own Aulani and also because I am extra nosey.

Just compared a few resorts for confirmed reservations for 2 brokers, one being a major broker in my mind. The difference in the amount of rentals is pretty shocking, as the major broker has much less. Also the amount of Aulani rentals to me does not add up with the large amount of points put up for sale. 1 of 3 things happening
1 - It rents so well they just don't have a lot left to rent at any given time
2 - Its not actually them owning/unloading these contracts
3 - They've been told no more rentals by Disney/Hawaii

Im also pretty shocked by the amount of confirmed VDH they have for rent. Pretty frustrating if you own there and cant get a reservation you want. It is hard to book even as an owner.
