Price it right, sell it faster.
The asking price is one of the biggest influences on how quickly your contract sells. If your listing is priced above current market value, buyers will likely pass it by in favor of better deals. A well-researched, competitive price attracts serious buyers faster. Use tools like resale calculators and current listings to stay in line with market expectations.
Not all resorts are created equal
Certain DVC resorts have higher demand due to their location, size, and booking perks. For example, resorts on the monorail line (like the Grand Floridian or Polynesian) are highly sought after and tend to sell more quickly. Smaller resorts with limited availability also attract more attention. The resort you own can significantly impact buyer interest.
Timing is everything
Buyers often look for contracts with points that are available immediately or rolling over into the next year. A contract with a depleted point bank might sell for less—or take longer to sell. The Use Year also matters: some buyers prefer certain months based on their vacation habits and planning cycles.
No strings attached = faster closing
Contracts that are already paid off usually close more quickly and smoothly. If a membership still has an outstanding loan, it may involve more paperwork, delays, or even reduce buyer interest due to the added complexity. A clean title is always more attractive to buyers.
