Second Quarter 2026 DVC Resale Market Trends & ROFR Report

Understanding the Current Disney Vacation Club Resale Market

The second quarter of 2026 continued many of the trends that emerged earlier this year. Inventory across the Disney Vacation Club resale market remained historically limited, buyer demand stayed healthy for well-positioned contracts, and Disney’s Right of First Refusal activity remained selective rather than widespread.

Perhaps the most notable takeaway from the quarter is that low inventory has not translated into significant price increases across every resort. Instead, buyers have continued to approach purchases thoughtfully, comparing available points, contract size, expiration date, and overall value before making offers. Contracts that are competitively positioned continue to attract strong interest, while overpriced listings often remain on the market longer despite the limited number of available listings.

This report summarizes average resale prices based on completed transactions through Vacation Club Life during the second quarter of 2026. Because these figures reflect actual closed sales rather than asking prices or aggregated listing data, they provide a clearer picture of where the market is currently trading.

Average DVC Resale Prices by Resort

The data below reflects actual closed sales through our brokerage. Because this represents real transactions (not listing prices or aggregated market estimates), results can vary amongst contract details and timing within the quarter. Quarterly averages can fluctuate based on the mix of contracts sold during the period, particularly at resorts with fewer transactions.

Resort	Q1 2026	Q2 2026
Animal Kingdom	$97	$107
Aulani	$85	$91
Bay Lake Tower	$132	$129
Beach Club	$133	$132*
BoardWalk	$117	$104*
Boulder Ridge	$99	$97
Copper Creek	$130	$132
Disneyland Hotel	—	$148
Grand Californian	$250	$235
Grand Floridian	$148	$152
Hilton Head	$60	$48*
Old Key West	$95	$83*
Old Key West (Extended)	—	$107
Polynesian	$155	$159
Riviera	$99	$109*
Saratoga Springs	$98	$96
Vero Beach	$45	$47

* Notes: Beach Club’s average continues to be influenced by a higher concentration of smaller point contracts, which often command a premium on a price-per-point basis. Old Key West’s first-quarter average was elevated by a handful of smaller contracts that sold at the upper end of the market, while the second-quarter average more closely reflects typical resale activity. BoardWalk, Riviera, and Hilton Head averages are based on a limited number of transactions due to low listing availability. At BoardWalk, the mix of larger contracts sold during the quarter also influenced the average resale price. Quarterly averages can fluctuate based on the mix of contracts sold during the period, particularly at resorts with fewer transactions.

What the Pricing Data Tells Us

The second quarter continued to reflect a balanced Disney Vacation Club resale market, although tightening inventory at several resorts has begun shifting conditions in favor of sellers for the most desirable contracts. Average resale prices showed movement in both directions during the quarter rather than a broad market-wide trend.

While a handful of resorts posted higher average sale prices compared to the first quarter, others experienced slight declines. Resorts such as Animal Kingdom Villas, Riviera, Grand Floridian, and Polynesian saw modest increases, while Bay Lake Tower, Beach Club, Boulder Ridge, Saratoga Springs, and Copper Creek remained relatively close to their first-quarter averages. More noticeable changes occurred at BoardWalk, Hilton Head, Grand Californian, and Old Key West, although quarterly averages can fluctuate more significantly at resorts with fewer transactions.

This reinforces an important characteristic of today’s Disney Vacation Club resale market: buyers continue to evaluate contracts individually rather than simply following overall market trends.

Price continues to be one of the most important factors influencing buyer decisions, but it is not the only one. Available points, contract size, expiration date, annual dues, home resort popularity, and resale restrictions all contribute to a contract’s overall value. As buyers compare competing listings, these factors often help determine which contracts generate the strongest interest and ultimately receive offers.

Inventory remained historically low throughout the quarter, particularly at several of Disney Vacation Club’s most sought-after resorts. While limited supply has strengthened demand for well-positioned contracts, it has not resulted in broad price increases across the market. Buyers continue to be selective, paying fair market value for desirable contracts while negotiating carefully on listings that are priced above recent comparable sales.

For sellers, the data continues to reinforce that successful pricing depends on how a contract compares with recent closed sales at the same resort rather than on overall inventory levels. Well-positioned contracts continue to attract strong interest, while contracts that enter the market above buyer expectations often require additional time or price adjustments before finding a buyer.

DVC ROFR (Right of First Refusal) Activity

Disney continued exercising its Right of First Refusal throughout the second quarter, although activity remained selective rather than aggressive.

Number of ROFR buybacks: 11

Disney exercised ROFR on 11 contracts in the second quarter, with the majority at Old Key West. This represents a slight increase from the first quarter, bringing the year-to-date total to 18 buybacks.

Resorts where Disney exercised ROFR:

• Animal Kingdom at $98 per point
• BoardWalk at $104 per point
• Grand Californian up to $240 per point
• Grand Floridian up to $149 per point
• Old Key West up to $82 per point
• Saratoga Springs at $100 per point

As has been the case throughout much of the past year, Disney did not appear to be attempting to repurchase contracts across every resort or price level. Instead, buybacks generally occurred under specific circumstances that aligned with Disney’s broader acquisition strategy.

While ROFR always deserves attention, the overall pattern suggests that Disney remains opportunistic rather than broadly active.

This distinction is important because isolated buybacks do not necessarily indicate that Disney intends to raise resale values across an entire resort. Individual transactions may reflect attractive pricing, contract characteristics, inventory needs, or other factors that are not immediately visible to the public.

What Current ROFR Trends Mean

For buyers, selective ROFR activity serves as a reminder that attractively priced contracts can still be purchased successfully, but submitting unrealistically low offers may increase the likelihood of Disney stepping in when the pricing aligns with its acquisition objectives.

For sellers, ROFR should not be viewed as a pricing strategy.

Some sellers mistakenly assume that pricing a contract lower will increase the likelihood that Disney will exercise its Right of First Refusal, or that ROFR activity establishes a clear “floor” for market value. While Disney may choose to exercise ROFR on lower-priced contracts in certain cases, price alone is not the determining factor. Disney evaluates a range of considerations, and a lower sale price does not automatically trigger a buyback.

Contracts should instead be positioned according to current market conditions and comparable closed sales.

Overall, ROFR continues to represent one piece of the transaction process rather than the defining force behind today’s resale market.

Inventory & Market Conditions

Inventory Levels for Q2: less than 1,000 listings on the market total

Average Closing Timeframe: 33 days

Inventory remained limited throughout the second quarter, continuing a trend that has persisted for much of the past year. Buyers often had fewer contracts to choose from than has historically been typical.

Despite that limited supply, the market has remained balanced.

The current environment demonstrates that inventory alone does not determine pricing. Buyers remain informed and selective, with many carefully comparing multiple contracts before making a decision. Contracts that combine competitive pricing with desirable characteristics often receive significant attention soon after entering the market, while listings that are priced above market expectations can remain available for considerably longer.

This continues to reinforce an important characteristic of the current Disney Vacation Club resale market: quality inventory sells, but buyers remain disciplined.

What This Means for Sellers

Current market conditions continue to reward realistic pricing and strong overall positioning.

Although inventory remains relatively low, today’s buyers have become increasingly knowledgeable. Many understand how available points, contract size, annual dues, expiration dates, and resale restrictions affect overall value. As a result, sellers who enter the market with competitive pricing often generate stronger early interest than those who initially test significantly higher asking prices.

Well-positioned contracts continue to move efficiently, particularly when they offer features buyers are actively seeking.

Sellers should focus less on overall inventory levels and more on how their individual contract compares with recent comparable sales. Limited inventory alone does not guarantee strong buyer interest. Buyers continue to evaluate the complete value of each contract, and listings with fewer available points, extended closing timelines, or pricing that exceeds current market expectations may still take longer to attract offers.

At the same time, sellers with highly desirable contracts may benefit from having fewer competing listings at their resort. Contracts that combine sought-after characteristics with competitive pricing are often well positioned to attract early buyer interest.

What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, the second quarter reinforced that opportunities continue to exist across the resale market despite limited inventory.

Stable pricing has allowed many buyers to purchase memberships without facing rapidly escalating prices. At the same time, desirable contracts often receive attention quickly, particularly those with attractive point availability, smaller contract sizes, or highly sought-after resorts.

Preparation remains one of the greatest advantages for buyers. Understanding current resale values, monitoring available inventory, and being ready to act when the right contract appears can significantly improve the purchasing experience.

Rather than focusing solely on finding the lowest advertised price, buyers should continue evaluating overall value and how well a contract fits their long-term vacation goals.

Market Summary

The second quarter of 2026 demonstrated continued stability throughout the Disney Vacation Club resale market.

Inventory remained historically low, yet resale prices generally experienced modest movement rather than broad market-wide increases. Buyers continued placing significant emphasis on price while also comparing factors such as available points, contract size, expiration date, and resort when evaluating competing listings. Sellers achieved the strongest results when their contracts were competitively priced and well positioned within the current market.

Disney’s Right of First Refusal activity remained selective, reinforcing that individual buybacks should be viewed within the broader context of the overall market rather than as evidence of widespread pricing changes.

As always, actual closed sales provide the most reliable picture of current DVC resale values. Understanding where contracts are successfully closing, rather than simply where they are listed, provides buyers and sellers with a more accurate perspective on today’s market.
