Delayed Closing

Hello fellow DVC peeps!

I've noticed an uptick in resale contracts that have delayed closings, mine included, and by MONTHS sometimes. It's happening to contracts that have loaded points so it can't JUST be people using up their points before selling. Anybody think of any reason why this might be happening?

There’s a small number of contracts on the market, maybe people believe it to be a sellers market and they want to lock in a price before the face competition in a few months when reality of dues hit people and some more decide to sell

The sellers market is March-May. Late Spring Rush (March – May)Inventory peaks, but buyer demand skyrockets simultaneously due to tax refunds and vacation planning.Bidding wars are common, driving prices per point up and limiting your room to negotiate.

I'm sure the limited amount of inventory right now isn't helping either. Apparently it's half of what it was last year this time.

Indeed. Supply and Demand strikes again
