DVC Resale Average Sales Prices for September 2024

This article features the average sales price of contracts categorized by resort and month sold from September 2023 through September 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

September 2024 brought a welcome uptick in the Average Price Per Point for almost all Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resale properties, pushing the blended average across all resorts up to $126 per point. This marks the highest average since December 2023 and a continuation of the upward trend we’ve seen lately. While there aren’t many external factors driving this change, I believe the ongoing issue of shrinking inventory, which we’ve been discussing for the past few months, is playing a major role.

Shrinking Inventory and Its Impact

With fewer available resale contracts on the market, competition for those that are up for grabs is heating up. As the supply of contracts dwindles, we’re seeing prices move upward, which could continue for the foreseeable future. This trend has been a common theme this year, as inventory has consistently shrunk, and it seems we are now seeing the effects in resale prices.

Polynesian: The One Exception

The one notable exception to this upward trend has been Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows. Polynesian has been coming down from its peak of $184 per point in May 2024, now sitting at $171 per point as of this month. This decline isn’t entirely surprising, given the recently announced direct sales incentives for the Polynesian, thanks to the upcoming Island Tower expansion.

I wouldn’t be too certain that Polynesian resale prices have hit their bottom just yet. It’s quite possible that they’ll continue to decline and settle around the $160 per point range—similar to what we saw with Grand Floridian when Big Pine Key went on sale. If this holds true, buyers could still enjoy around 30% savings when purchasing Polynesian resale contracts versus buying direct at $225 per point. Not a bad deal, especially considering resale contracts can also be used to book rooms at the Island Tower.
