    Love the fact that this show always shows both sides of the story. It is never leaning in one direction and enables everyone to hear different views.

  • The Best!

    I’m a new DVC member and as such I’ve been taking in as much content (podcasts, websites) as possible. This podcast is hands down the best out there. As well, Chad is regularly doing analysis that is super helpful and shares his files with listeners. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Exploring the Long Term Impact of DVC Resale Restrictions
Q: Do you agree with us? Do you disagree with us? Am I in left field? Do you have some more encouraging words for Jared than I do?
We acknowledge the challenges but also see potential workarounds like cross-booking, point exchanges, and strategic planning to maximize availability even under restrictions. The takeaway is to stay informed, consider all purchase paths (direct, resale, or restricted resale), and have contingency plans for peak booking times.
Exploring the Long Term Impact of DVC Resale Restrictions
Q: So talk to me now. What's some of your concerns as a Riviera owner?
We're worried about the 11-month booking window losing value as resale contracts age, potential restriction creep, and whether direct-ownership advantages will persist when many owners are resale-restricted. There's anxiety about being able to get the standard and popular rooms years from now and how that will affect our long-term vacation planning.
March 2026 Recap: Steady and Stable
Q: Is there averaging 11 days to make a decision, Sue?
Sue explains that the wait times have shortened due to streamlined processes and faster delivery of estoppel and closing documents, contributing to quicker settlements.
More DVC FAQ with Andy Berry
Q: What should I buy first, My Direct Points or My resale points?
Resale first is often advantageous because it allows you to determine the right use year and potentially qualify for existing member incentives when you later add direct points; this helps you avoid being steered into a given use year that may not fit your lifestyle.
Are We Beyond the Golden Age of DVC?
Q: Is DVC past the golden era? Has DVC reached its prime and is it now in decline?
The hosts and guest discuss that while the financial golden age of direct purchases might be behind us, the overall value of DVC ownership can still be strong when considering long-term use, memories, and community. They point to resale market dynamics, multi-resort use, and life events as factors that sustain value beyond price appreciation.
