I'm not looking, but I was wondering that given the current shutdown of Disney resorts, will this affect how resale points are priced ?
I agree.It will have to be long term issues and a recession to see drops in resale on average or incentives directly.
I think some people might rethink theme park vacations though. There plenty of people who don't mind crowds etc but other that will come away from this thing with a phobia. Also Disney being forced to scale back a lot of new improvements, folks might be turned off. Just an opinion. That said, I think resale will be a healthy market, but Riveria? Was it really selling super well? I just find that hard to believe, I compared a 1-Bedroom 3 night stay there vs legacy properties, and the cost for a preferred view was 50 points higher that AKL savannah view or BWV pool or boardwalk view. That is just crazy to me.I agree.
The 2008 recession started a multi-year decline in resale prices, so I think a lot of this depends on how the overall economy goes. Plus there's the Disney-specific issue of when the parks re-open and whether as many people will want to visit. Please note that we should attempt to keep this thread from becoming political or too speculative.
OP, are you looking to buy or is this just idle speculation?
Riviera has been selling better, in its first 10 months of sales, than CCV, VGF, and even Poly.I think some people might rethink theme park vacations though.

Yes some will rethink, and some will decide to sell. Just like after 2001 people did. But the deals were a year or two later tbh. We even still had great deals in 2004 from travel issues in 2002 or 2003. The really good deals from the 2008 recession were not found for a year or so after 2010 had great deals. We just weren't in the market to add on.I think some people might rethink theme park vacations though.

Eh, maybe. I really think this wilIronically there could be a bit of an opposite effect.
Once things get back to normal, there may well be some people who have regularly been renting points who decide to buy. Whenever there’s a discussion about buying, there are also those who advocate renting rather than buying to avoid the long term commitment. After the problems this has thrown up over cancellations, they may decide it’s better to be in control of their reservations in future.
Did it really? That is surprising. Would love to see the numbers, is that overall points or the amount of money used to purchase?Riviera has been selling better, in its first 10 months of sales, than CCV, VGF, and even Poly.

I will say that anyone deciding to buy there is probably going to be compelled to spend more than usual do to the high amount of points needed for many bookings.
No offense but doom and gloom sells. The longer we are off yes, the worse it can be, but until it hits and stays for longer than 6 months, it will be hard to speculate lower prices.Most economists are reporting this will be a deeper recession than 2008.

No offense taken - I just can't rose color glasses around the reality.

Prices will drop. Definitely.Warn us it could.... not rose color but we aren't there yet. Plus my comment stands. Prices do not adjust instantly. We need at least 6-12 months to see regular major price changes. People don't sell instantly flooding the market no matter what.
The thing with selling is that it is not an overnight deal, it's at least a two to three month process(and one Disney has the ability to slow down by waiting till the last day to decide during the buy back period.I suspect folks on the fence may be motivated to sell, maybe some folks simply need the money these days will sell, so the prices may go down, but keep in mind Disney controls the resale market through ROFR therefore there will be no crash in my opinion.
Even with all the limitations Disney placed on resale points, the resale market remains surprisingly strong.
At a glance, the lowest I saw was $105 a point for 200 points...

Yup, and that timeline is if you have a buyer ready to go, unless you put it on the market at a super cheap price it might take awhile to actually find a buyer.True, this also serves to stabilize the prices and avoid any crash. And good point, and even if folks need money now they cant wait two to three months, therefore selling DVC is not a solution. Thanks Disney.
