Understanding DVC Resale Contract Pricing
Most DVC resale contracts are not as unique as sellers might think. When accounting for current point availability, many contracts at the same resort with the same size and Use Year are nearly identical. For example, a 160-point contract at Saratoga Springs with a full point balance will closely match other 160-point Saratoga Springs contracts with similar terms.
Buyers understand this well. They focus on comparing listings side by side, looking for the best value rather than the original purchase price or ownership duration.
Key Factors Affecting DVC Resale Value
Pricing your contract effectively means considering these crucial factors:
- Resort popularity: Contracts at resorts like Grand Californian usually command higher prices compared to resorts such as Vero Beach.
- Point availability: The presence of banked, borrowed, or stripped points impacts value.
- Contract size: Smaller contracts often sell for a higher price per point.
- Deed expiration date: All DVC contracts have a fixed expiration date based on the original deed. Old Key West is an exception, with two possible end dates depending on deed extension.
Because DVC memberships are time-limited, their value decreases as the expiration date approaches. Holding out for a higher price can be tempting, but waiting too long may reduce the final sale price due to shifting buyer demand and aging contracts.
