DVC Resale Prices: Complete 2026 Market Guide

Current DVC Resale Prices (2026)

Prices below are based on recent closed sales. Actual prices vary by contract size, use year, and seller motivation.

Last updated: February 2026. Prices are approximate mid-market values.

What Affects DVC Resale Prices?

Several factors determine what you'll pay on the resale market:

• Contract expiration date — Longer contracts command higher prices. Beach Club (2042) sells for less than Copper Creek (2068).
• Resort popularity — Monorail resorts (Bay Lake Tower, Grand Floridian, Polynesian) and Disneyland resorts cost more.
• Annual dues — Lower dues = higher resale price. Buyers pay upfront for long-term savings.
• Contract size — Smaller contracts (under 100 points) often sell at a premium per point. Large contracts may be discounted.
• Points status — "Loaded" contracts with current and banked points sell for more than "stripped" contracts.

Resale vs Direct Prices

Resale saves you 30-60% compared to buying direct from Disney. Here's the catch: some newer resorts have restrictions on resale contracts.

• Riviera — Resale buyers can ONLY book at Riviera. No trading to other DVC resorts.
• All other resorts — Full booking rights at 7 months, home resort priority at 11 months.

Where to Buy DVC Resale

The resale market is well-established with several reputable brokers:

• DVC Resale Market — Large inventory, user-friendly site
• Fidelity Resales — Good for smaller contracts
• DVC Shop — Strong customer service reputation
• DVC By Resale — Competitive pricing

All transactions go through Disney's Right of First Refusal (ROFR). Disney can match any price within 30 days — and they often do for deals that are too good.

Price Trends & Predictions

DVC resale prices have stabilized in 2025-2026 after the wild post-pandemic swings:

• 2020-2021: Prices dropped ~15-20% during COVID uncertainty
• 2022-2023: Revenge travel drove prices up 20-30%
• 2024-2026: Market normalized, prices stable with gradual decline for shorter contracts

Our take: 2026 is a reasonable time to buy. Prices aren't at pandemic lows, but they're not inflated either. Focus on contract length — resorts expiring before 2050 will continue losing value.
