DVC Resale Prices by Resort in 2026: What Every Contract Is Actually Selling For

DVC resale prices range from about $50 per point at Vero Beach to over $250 per point at Grand Californian, with the blended average across all Disney Vacation Club resorts at roughly $123 per point as of mid-2026. A typical 150-point contract costs between $7,500 and $37,500 depending on which resort you buy into, and most buyers save 40% to 60% compared to buying direct from Disney. Magical Vacation Pros put together a full resort-by-resort pricing breakdown below so you can see what contracts are actually selling for and figure out which resort fits how your family vacations.

What Does DVC Resale Cost Per Point at Every Resort in 2026?

DVC resale prices depend on the resort, the size of the contract, how many points are currently available on the contract, and general market demand. Smaller contracts with full points loaded tend to sell for more per point than larger contracts with stripped points. That said, these are the ranges you can expect to see across the market right now:

Resort	Avg. Resale $/Point	Direct Disney $/Point	Approx. Savings	Deed Expires	Location
Vero Beach	~$50	Resale only (no direct sales)	N/A	2042	Vero Beach, FL
Old Key West	$80-$110	Resale only ( no direct sales)	N/A	2042 (2057 extended)	Walt Disney World

How Much Do You Actually Save Buying DVC Resale vs. Direct from Disney?

Most buyers save 40% to 60% buying resale compared to direct Disney pricing, depending on the resort. The biggest dollar savings are at resorts where the gap between resale and direct pricing is widest. Here’s what that looks like in real numbers on a typical 150-point contract:

Resort	150-Point Resale Cost	150-Point Direct Cost	You Save
Saratoga Springs	~$15,000	~$33,000	~$18,000
Aulani	~$14,250	~$33,000	~$18,750
Copper Creek	~$19,875	~$36,750	~$16,875
Grand Floridian	~$23,625	~$34,500	~$10,875
Polynesian	~$25,500	~$35,250	~$9,750

That savings is enough to cover years of annual dues, park tickets, or dining. It’s also worth noting that you get the same villa accommodations, the same resort experience, and the same 11-month home resort booking window whether you buy direct or resale. The product itself doesn’t change. What changes are certain incidental perks, which we’ll cover below.

Which DVC Resort Is the Cheapest to Buy on Resale?

Vero Beach is the cheapest DVC resort on the resale market at roughly $50 per point in 2026. At that price, a 150-point contract costs about $7,500 total, which is the lowest entry point into Disney Vacation Club. The tradeoff is that Vero Beach is located on Florida’s Atlantic coast, not at Walt Disney World, and the deed expires in 2042, so you’re buying fewer years of membership.

If you specifically want a Walt Disney World resort, Old Key West is the most affordable at $80 to $110 per point. Saratoga Springs is next at $95 to $110. Both have larger inventories of available contracts, which keeps prices lower than the premium Magic Kingdom-area resorts. Keep in mind that the cheapest per-point price doesn’t always mean the best value. A resort with a longer deed term and lower annual dues can be a better deal over 20+ years even if the upfront cost per point is higher.

Which DVC Resort Has the Best Long-Term Value on Resale?

Long-term value depends on three things: resale price per point, annual dues per point, and how many years are left on the deed. A cheap contract that expires in 2042 gives you 16 years of use. A slightly more expensive contract that expires in 2070 gives you 44 years. That math matters.

Riviera Resort is worth looking at from a pure value standpoint. It sells for $115 to $120 per point on the resale market, the deed runs until 2070 (one of the longest in the DVC system), and resale prices have room to grow as inventory tightens. The catch is that Riviera resale contracts can only book at Riviera, not at any of the other DVC resorts. If you’re happy staying at Riviera every year, the economics work out well. If you want flexibility to bounce between resorts, it’s a dealbreaker.

For buyers who want maximum flexibility plus strong value, Copper Creek ($130-$135/point, deed through 2068) and Aulani ($90-$108/point, deed through 2062) are both strong picks. Copper Creek gives you a Wilderness Lodge home resort with a long deed, and Aulani gives you Hawaii access at one of the lowest per-point prices for a non-WDW resort.

What Is ROFR and Will Disney Take My Contract?

ROFR stands for Right of First Refusal. Here’s how it works: when a buyer and seller agree on a DVC resale contract, the deal gets submitted to Disney before it can close. Disney then has up to 30 days to decide whether they want to buy that contract themselves at the exact price and terms the buyer and seller already agreed to. If Disney exercises ROFR, the buyer doesn’t get the contract. No money changes hands. The buyer just has to start looking for another contract.

Disney is more likely to exercise ROFR on contracts priced well below current market value, especially at popular resorts like Grand Floridian, Polynesian, and Bay Lake Tower. Contracts priced at or near fair market value almost always pass ROFR. Your broker at Magical Vacation Pros can help you price your offer at a level that’s competitive but also likely to pass through ROFR. If your contract does get taken by Disney, there’s no cost to you and you can make an offer on another listing right away.

What Do You Give Up Buying DVC Resale Instead of Direct?

The resort stays are exactly the same. The villas are the same. The 11-month home resort booking window is the same. The 7-month booking window for all other DVC resorts is the same. The resale product and the direct product are the same vacation experience.

What you lose on resale are certain incidental perks: discounts on annual passes, dining, and merchandise. You can get those perks back if you also hold at least 150 direct-purchased points, but many resale buyers skip them entirely because the savings from buying resale more than cover whatever discounts they would have received.

There’s one other restriction worth knowing: if you buy resale at one of the 14 legacy resorts (those that opened before 2019), your points can only be used to book at those 14 legacy resorts. If you buy resale at Riviera (opened 2019), your points can only be used at Riviera. This doesn’t affect most buyers since the legacy resorts cover all four WDW parks plus Vero Beach, Hilton Head, and Aulani, but it’s worth knowing before you buy.

What Should You Look for in a DVC Resale Contract?

Not all DVC resale contracts are the same even within the same resort. Here are the things that actually affect value:

Points availability. A “loaded” contract means the current year’s points are still available to use. A “stripped” contract means the seller already used this year’s points, so you’re paying for points you won’t get until next year. Loaded contracts sell for more per point, but they also give you immediate value.

Use year. Your use year determines when your annual points refresh. This matters for booking timing. If you typically vacation in the summer, a use year that aligns well means you’ll have a full allotment of points available for your trip. Common use years include February, June, August, October, and December.

Contract size. Larger contracts (200+ points) tend to sell for less per point than smaller contracts (under 100 points). But don’t buy more points than you’ll actually use. A 150-point contract at Saratoga Springs is enough for a week in a studio during value season.

Deed expiration. Shorter deeds (expiring in 2042) are cheaper upfront but give you fewer years of use. Longer deeds (expiring in 2060-2070+) cost more per point but spread the investment over more vacation years.

Subsidized dues. Some contracts come with a subsidy that reduces annual dues for a period. This can save hundreds per year and is worth paying a slightly higher per-point price for.

How Does the DVC Resale Buying Process Work?

Buying DVC resale through Magical Vacation Pros follows a straightforward process that typically takes 30 to 60 days from offer to closing:

Step 1: Browse and make an offer. Look through current listings at Magical Vacation Pros or call (877) 382-2432 to discuss what you’re looking for. When you find a contract you like, you submit an offer. The seller can accept, counter, or decline.

Step 2: ROFR review. Once the buyer and seller agree on terms, the contract is submitted to Disney for their Right of First Refusal review. This takes up to 30 days. Most contracts at fair market value pass without issue.

Step 3: Closing. After ROFR passes, the contract goes to a closing company. You’ll sign documents, pay the remaining balance and closing costs, and the deed is transferred into your name. Magical Vacation Pros coordinates the whole process and keeps you updated at every step.

Step 4: Welcome home. Once the deed is recorded, Disney sets up your membership account. You get access to the DVC member website, your points are loaded, and you can start booking your first vacation.

How Much Does It Cost to Close on a DVC Resale Contract?

Beyond the purchase price, DVC resale buyers should budget for closing costs and a Disney-imposed admin fee. Closing costs for a DVC resale transaction typically run $500 to $1,000 depending on the title company and state. Disney also charges a $500 resale administration fee on all resale transfers, which was introduced in late 2025. Annual dues are prorated from the closing date and vary by resort, ranging from roughly $7.50 to $11.50 per point per year at WDW resorts.

Which DVC Resort Should You Buy on Resale?

For first-time DVC buyers on a budget who want a Walt Disney World home resort, Old Key West or Saratoga Springs offer the lowest per-point resale prices ($80 to $110/point). Both have long enough remaining deed terms to get good value, and both give you access to the 7-month booking window for all 14 legacy resorts.

For buyers who want a premium WDW resort and are willing to pay more per point, Grand Floridian and Polynesian are the top picks. Both are on the Magic Kingdom monorail loop, both have some of the lowest annual dues in the system, and both hold their resale value well. Expect to pay $150 to $175 per point.

For California-based buyers who want to vacation at Disneyland, Villas at Disneyland Hotel offers a strong resale option with a deed that runs until 2074 and resale prices that are well below what Disney charges direct. Grand Californian is the most expensive DVC resort on the resale market at $235 to $270 per point, but it’s also the highest-demand resort in the system.
