A Whirlwind Adventure with ABD in China
We began the episode with an exciting recap of Andy’s recent Adventures by Disney (ABD) trip to China. After sixteen days of exploration, Andy emphasized how well ABD organizes its trips and even hinted at a potential community trip with ABD in 2028 to celebrate the podcast’s 10th anniversary. There was talk of possibly heading to Disneyland, with community members involved. Stay tuned for more details as they unfold!
The Right of First Refusal and Disney’s Buying Trends
The conversation smoothly transitioned to Disney’s right of first refusal (ROFR) and recent purchasing activities. Chad and Andy discussedDisney’ss minimal contract buybacks, noting that only three small Vero Beach contracts were acquired last month. Interestingly, they noticed a significant gap between Disney’s direct selling price per point and resale prices, particularly at the Disneyland Hotel.
Analyzing Trends in Average Sales Prices
In the world of real estate, average sales prices hold significant weight. The discussion continued with Chad and Andy examining changes in Disney Vacation Club resale prices. With low inventory levels, prices have shown a slight upward trend. Andy pointed out that while month-to-month variations exist, a year-over-year analysis shows a less substantial increase.
They also noted surprising stability in prices of contracts expiring in 2042, highlighting the intriguing resilience of these contracts despite their limited lifespan.
The Struggle with Inventory Levels
Inventory levels were central to the ongoing discussion. Although there is a slight increase in available listings, Andy and Chad emphasized that current levels remain below historical averages. They speculated on potential factors influencing this trend, such as pending annual dues announcements and market fluctuations.
Hot Deals and Listings: Opportunities for Buyers
Chad encouraged potential sellers to consider listing their memberships, particularly for sought-after resorts like Boulder Ridge, Polynesian, Riviera, and Hilton Head. He assured that DVC Resale Market has a range of listings, including double-point contracts and hot deals.
For buyers, Chad and Andy discussed exceptional deals, including some with 2026 points, where sellers cover the associated annual dues—giving buyers a stress-free start.
