Historically, September has always been sluggish for developer sale, resales, and even rental transactions. This September appears to have been even more of a dip than usual for direct sales of Disney Vacation Club points.
A recent article from Will Lovato at DVCnews.com states that only 120,348 DVC points were sold by the timeshare developer in September. This amounts to a 43% decline in DVC sales from the prior month. Follows are some notes culled from that report:
Disney Vacation Club Timeshare Sales Numbers September 2012:
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas was the top sales resort in the DVC system accounting for sales of 69,461 points (down fromo 114,643 in August).
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa was second in sales with 21,359 points.
Disney's Bay Lake Tower and the Contemporary Resort was third with 15,403 points (this is being reported as the lowest sale month for Bay Lake Tower since timeshare sales opened in late 2008).
The report also includes some interesting data concerning Disney's recent reacquisitions through foreclosure as well as right of first refusal. Follows is a short excerpt from that section:
"...As with all other resorts, DVD cannot sell more than 98% of Bay Lake Tower's 5.7 million points to the general public. DVD has only about 136,000 points left unsold at Bay Lake Tower. The October Use Year is in shortest supply with about 7,818 points left unsold. The December Use Year is also in relatively short supply with only 16,633 points left unsold. Both of these point totals are higher than the previous month because DVD reacquired more October and December Use Year points in September than it sold..."
If you have never visited the DVCnews.com website, I would encourage you to do so. I have always found it to be one of the premier sources for Disney Vacation Club news and historic data.
