DVC Resale Average Sales Prices for December 2024
This article features the average sales price of contracts categorized by resort and month sold from December 2023 through December 2024 by DVC Resale Market (DVCRM).
Our goal for this article is to provide great directional information for anyone considering a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resale purchase or just wanting to satisfy a general curiosity of prices and trends.
How to Evaluate DVC Resale Prices
The price of a resort can vary based on the size of the contract in points, the current point availability of the contract (i.e., points current, banked, and borrowed), as well as other various factors (i.e., extended Old Key West contracts, subsidized dues contracts, etc.).
For example, contracts that are smaller and have higher points availabilities tend to sell for more than the average price per point and vice versa.
Analysis
2024 closes exactly where it started, with the blended average price across all Disney Vacation Club (DVC) properties sitting at $126 per point, the same as December 2023. This stability highlights the broader uncertainty in resale pricing, influenced by Disney’s reduced use of Right of First Refusal (ROFR) as a pricing driver and the impact of macroeconomic trends on consumer spending.
While the overall market remained flat, individual resorts saw significant shifts, reflecting unique demand patterns and external influences. These trends give us valuable insights into what may lie ahead for 2025.
Winners and Losers: Key Resort Highlights
2024 brought good news for some resorts and bad news for others, with resale prices swinging significantly depending on location and market dynamics.
Grand Californian: Down 12.5%
The biggest loss of the year was felt at Grand Californian, where resale prices dropped from $281 per point in December 2023 to $246 per point in December 2024. This 12.5% decline is a stark reminder of how supply and demand play a critical role in pricing. Despite its reputation as one of the most exclusive DVC resorts, Grand Californian’s pricing correction reflects limited buyer appetite at these high levels.
Polynesian: Up 7.75%
On the other hand, Polynesian Villas & Bungalows saw a significant increase, rising from $155 per point in December 2023 to $167 per point this year. This growth was fueled by excitement surrounding the new Island Tower, which began sales in 2024. Buyers are clearly drawn to the expanded booking opportunities and the renewed attention on this resort, making it a standout performer in the DVC resale market.
Broader Trends: Stability and Opportunity
The broader market’s stability at $126 per point reflects a combination of factors:
- Disney’s Reduced ROFR Activity: With fewer contracts being bought back, Disney played a less direct role in driving pricing.
- Macroeconomic Headwinds: Rising costs and economic uncertainty may have tempered buyer enthusiasm.
- Inventory Fluctuations: The year saw dramatic swings in inventory, with listings ranging from a low of 265 in August to nearly 500 in November.
Looking Ahead: What to Expect in 2025
As we enter the new year, the DVC resale market shifts into high gear. The first quarter of the year is traditionally the biggest buying and selling season, as Annual Dues prompt many owners to list their contracts, creating a surge in inventory. For buyers, this means increased opportunities to find the perfect contract and take the leap into DVC ownership—or satisfy that “Add-On-Itis®” bug.
With inventory likely to grow, prices could remain steady or even soften slightly, making the coming months a great time to be in the market. Resorts like Polynesian and Old Key West will continue to attract attention, while premium properties like Grand Californian might stabilize as demand recalibrates.
2024 showed us that while the DVC resale market can be unpredictable, it remains resilient. Whether you’re a buyer or seller, understanding these trends is key to navigating the market effectively. As we look to 2025, one thing is clear: the opportunities are out there, and the start of the year is the perfect time to jump in.
