DVC You There! - Now with Bonus Content

I don’t know that I’d call this a “deal” even with this large drop and it being the lowest I’ve recorded for this room, but, as Rod Serling said “For your consideration…”

1-night Poly Tower 2BR Villa 2/7 orig $2,496 now $960 or 37% under median

Also, with only 10 rentals for this room in the database, the median values are still VERY iffy.

This, however, is a very nice deal:
4-night AK Kidani Studio 6/1 for $247/n or 30% under

5-night Poly studio 9/1 for $409/n or 22% under

Don’t have time to post links on early evening refresh, but there were a couple of interesting CC rentals in May: a studio and a 1BR. Also a decent Riviera studio in November at about 18% under. Use my search engine to find them!

PRO TIP:
If you want to quickly find the newest rentals below a certain % under median, load my search engine, select “Active” and,say “-10%” or “-20%” in the Price vs Median box and hit search.

Then in the results, click the column header text “Days on Market” and you will see the 0 days (meaning they appeared today) at top.

(BTW: The “First Appearance” column next to it is the number of days before check in the rental was listed.)

For the 2BR at the Poly Tower that’s now gone, I believe rack rate for a theme park, non-penthouse room starts at $2,050 for this year. So a little over half off for a big room that needed to be booked 2 days before check in probably won’t become the norm. I think this room type is going to retain its value much closer to your already plotted median than where this one was at.

Interesting how most of the Poly Tower 2BR rentals so far were booked in this 2 day window of time. Guess that is that just an artifact of it being both new and theoretically quiet dates with not much booking going on?

SUPER Very Nice

6-night Aulani 1BR start 6/4 for $432/n or 58% under median.

There has been only 1 dedicated rental of 6-nights or longer priced lower than this (on 8/22/24) - that one also showed up about 4 months before check in, but at just over $1k/night and stayed there until late July when it started dropping. It lasted until mid August!

While you still see some lower priced Riviera rentals in Summer months and September - this is an absolutely screaming deal for April.

It looks even worse if you don’t know that the steep drop at the current date is just cause there’s no data. :sweat_smile:

6-night SSR Studio 4/21 for $240/n or 18% under median

In reality: this deal is actually TERRIFIC and much better than that “18% under median” sounds.
Seeing any dedicated rental at or under median in this time frame is rare, forget about longer multi-nights.

It is a GRAB IT IF YOU WANT IT WON’T LAST LONG deal.

5-night BW Studio 8/17 for $336/n or 18% under median

When looking at 2-nights or longer, is really more like 21% under, at 5-nights 23% under.

Meant to add this in previous post: where this $240 rental is compared to the medians for this room on this date each year:

Prices in this range for a BLT 2BR Villa are very rare in both of these time frames - forget about for 5 or 6-night rentals.

6-night BLT 2BR Villa 4/24 for $942/n or 18% under median

5-night BLT 2BR Villa 12/15 for $907/n or 21% under median

6-night BC Studio 6/11 for $383/n or 19% under median

There have been a few BC rentals around this price in June already, but last year we saw maybe 2 and a few in 2023. So, any BCs that pop up at this price or lower are pretty much Grab Them Immediately™ deals if you want to stay there, especially since refurb is ending right before this I think!
