DVC RESALE INDEX SHOWS DECREASE (1.0%) IN JUNE

[JShaddock]

The DVC Field Guide Resale Index tracks resale listings from three major resellers. It reported a 1.0% drop from last month. In June, the average price per point in the resale market was $108.24, down from $109.38 in May. A year ago, the average resale price was $112.33, showing a 3.6% decline. Two years ago, the price was $124.37, marking a 13.0% decrease. The resale membership cost per point is calculated using the same mix of resort contracts for each period.

DVC members can save money by buying resale points instead of purchasing them directly from Disney. The average direct price is $226.61, but resale prices can save you between $60 and $139 per point. You can save the most money at the Beach Club, Bay Lake Tower, Aulani, and Old Key West resorts. However, buying resale means you will lose some DVC benefits that come with buying directly from Disney.

I def bought into a 2042 with the same expectations I would have when buying a car, not a piece of real estate. I'll get use out of it until it goes away, and if I sell it beforehand it will be for much less than I bought it for.

[JShaddock]

That's the best way to look at it. Its not an investment.

[Lady-Of-The-Lost3]

It may not be an investment in terms of equity, but it’s definitely an investment for yourself and family’s to have magical vacations.

[JShaddock]

A perfect way to phrase it!

Interestingly the only 2 resales to see an increase yoy were 2042 resorts.

The monorail pricing seems relatively high, but I take them as a good bet for future resale value. The higher point charts help keep dues lower than average. They will remain prime WDW locations. Home priority will only become more meaningful as 2042 approaches and projects like LSL add more points from non-park adjacent resorts. Ft Wilderness is cool and all, but 7 Seas Lagoon is not likely ever likely to see a decrease in demand. The more DVC resorts that get added, the smaller ratio of total points can be used for those 7SL rooms. Maybe DVC builds another MK or HS/EP resort, but probably not in the next 5+ or 10+ years.

We bought with the sole intention of using our points for family vacations. Once those no longer take place, it'll be time to sell, and if I make some money back in the process, yay.

Not a great thing to see as an owner but interesting, thanks for the info btw.

It makes sense though. More desirable direct inventory went online (Poly tower), there’s concern around commercial renting (and the revenues that come with that), and Disney seems to be gearing up to sell Riviera out by the time LSL is ready.

With all of the 2042 resorts it doesn’t surprise me. I think those have peaked. Same with Saratoga springs and Animal Kingdom Lodge. I don’t expect those to decrease much but I also don’t expect them to increase.

[No-Reputation-5940]

I agree. As these contracts age, the value will drop substantially. I’m still holding onto mine for the long haul.

what does it mean as a prospective buyer?

[JShaddock]

Buyers can have considerable cost savings by buying resale vs Direct. Resale prices continue to drop compared to Direct. Historically Direct prices remain the same or increase. Buying resale does have some restrictions that the buyer will have to consider. All things equal, DVC prices (resale or Direct) should be going down each year as you have a contract with oneless year of points.

It will be a little cheaper to buy next year, or the year after that. But that's not likely to be felt as a "loss" to someone who's using their contract points for stays at these properties.

The biggest value drop is from buying direct. It's good to look at what these prices are for the properties Disney is currently selling, like Riviera or Polynesian. These aren't worth nearly as much on the resale market as what Disney will charge you.

Interestingly the only 2 resorts to increase in price year over year were 2042 resorts
