If you’re navigating the Disney Vacation Club market, understanding DVC resales value is essential. Whether you’re selling your contract or hoping to spot a great deal as a buyer, real value comes from knowing which factors drive pricing and how the market performs across resorts. At DVC Sales, we use real-time data and years of expertise to help families make confident decisions.
Why DVC Resales Value Remains High
Demand and Disney’s Brand Strength
Disney Vacation Club contracts stand out because of their steady demand and loyal member base. Unlike traditional timeshares that often lose value quickly, DVC resales maintain impressive resale value, particularly at premium resorts like Beach Club Villas, Grand Californian, and Polynesian. These resorts fetch higher prices due to location, favorable points charts, and limited inventory.
Resale vs Direct Pricing
One of the biggest draws of the resale market is the price gap compared to direct Disney purchases. For example, a contract that sells for $250 per point direct from Disney might be available for $170–$180 per point on the resale market. This 30–40% difference can add up to thousands in savings, especially for larger contracts. Yet, buyers retain home resort access and the coveted 11-month booking window.
Factors That Influence DVC Resale Value
Home Resort and Location
Some resorts, like Bay Lake Tower and Grand Floridian, consistently command higher resale values due to proximity to major parks, limited contracts, and strong member demand.
Contract Size and Point Availability
Larger contracts often sell at a lower price per point, making them attractive for families. Contracts with banked or current points remaining also appeal to buyers seeking immediate vacation opportunities.
Years Left and Annual Dues
Contracts with longer expiration dates tend to fetch higher prices. Additionally, resorts with lower annual dues per point are more desirable, as ongoing costs impact total ownership value.
