How Long Does It Really Take to Sell Your DVC Membership?
Price it right, sell it faster
Listing Price
The asking price is one of the biggest influences on how quickly your contract sells. If your listing is priced above current market value, buyers will likely pass it by in favor of better deals. A well-researched, competitive price attracts serious buyers faster. Use tools like resale calculators and current listings to stay in line with market expectations.
Not all resorts are created equal
Resort & Location
Certain DVC resorts have higher demand due to their location, size, and booking perks. For example, resorts on the monorail line (like the Grand Floridian or Polynesian) are highly sought after and tend to sell more quickly. Smaller resorts with limited availability also attract more attention. The resort you own can significantly impact buyer interest.
Timing is everything
Use Year & Point Availability
Buyers often look for contracts with points that are available immediately or rolling over into the next year. A contract with a depleted point bank might sell for less—or take longer to sell. The Use Year also matters: some buyers prefer certain months based on their vacation habits and planning cycles.
Fast communication = successful sales
Response Time
Sellers who are slow to respond to offers can lose their buyer who goes with the first seller who agrees to their terms. Responding promptly to buyer inquiries and offers shows you are a motivated seller and keeps buyers engaged in the transaction.
