Not going to happen, location alone will keep the price fairly competitive.I would be all over $80 in 12 months. I like your speculation!

well yikes guys, don't buy for the welcome package.
Several years ago we bought BLT, and several before that AKV, both resale. We received on each occasion a nice blue card (which I did know would be absent now) within a decorated folder stuffed with goodies and congratulations.
We've now just received our closing "package" from DVC on a resale polynesian contrast and it's essentially just a one-page letter within a mailing envelope which was sure to mention that we would NOT be getting certain membership extras available only to people who've bought direct. It invited us to log on to the site and view our membership card (perhaps we can even print it?!). And they did include a magnet within the envelope containing the otherwise-naked letter.
It just all feels extra-stripped of ceremony. And our points haven't loaded yet ...
how many points? What's the UY?Asking for a friend.I have to say that the one Beach Club I saw that was 139pp is now at 132pp. I did offer 119pp. They countered but I am holding out. They want buyer to pay for the dues left for 2020 plus closing. I dont mind paying closing but dont want to pay for the rest of the dues.
I didn't say it would but that would be my buy in price. I got a 25 point contract for $93 per points at BWV in 2015 (or maybe 2016 I can't remember exactly) so not that long ago.I don't think it will go that low especially BCV.
This is an excellent structure for thinking about the cost/benefit. Thank you.With rack rates at BWV starting at $550 and going up to $900 for a standard room, getting a room discount(30%) and adding in taxes(12.5%) still leaves you paying $430-$710 a night. With current MF of $7.37, and rooms ranging in points from 9 to 25 a night, that ends up costing $66-$184 a night. That works out to a saying of $366 to $524 a night vrs paying cash with a discount, or between $40-$20 savings per point.
Assuming that cash rates rise close to MF rates, and given we have 20 more years left on the contract I think that it will be a while before prices drop. As long as the transaction costs + purchase price is less than staying for cash, someone is going to want what is one of the best locations of any DVC resort.
