All of these new interesting listings from the same site:
1-night BC Studio 07/02 for $320/night or 32% under median
2-night BW Studio 08/08 for $325/night or 21% under
3-night OKW Studio 09/01 for $183/night or 36% under
5-night GF Studio 01/02 for $419/night or 19% under
2-night CC Studio 06/11 orig $476/night now $306/n or 23% under median
This is a buy it now listing, ain’t gonna last.
5-night Poly Studio 10/05 for $396/night or 25% under
If you limit the chart to 5-nights or longer you can see - ain’t much chance of seeing another priced this low!
3-night CC Studio 09/01 for $325/night or 18% under
Even though for Sept, $325 is right at median for that month for multi-nighters, the pricing for CC studios doesn’t really swing too much away from median often, so I’d say it is a worthy rental.
Price Drop:
Too bad this is a 1-night, is about as low as it goes except for rando listings.
1-night BLT 1 Bedroom 07/06 orig $775/night now $496/n or 41% under median
All months:
Moar Price Drops:
7-night SSR 2 Bedroom 06/25 orig $737/night now $553/n or 23% median
This is NOT a common room type to see, in June at least: only 9 rentals in total since 2023 and none were 1-nighters which is very unusual.
It is only 1 of 4 total 7-night or longer listings and is about $180/night less than the next highest priced.
Guess what? Also rare in June.
3-night SSR 1 Bedroom 06/05 orig $667/night now $400/n or 32% under median
This one from April dropped in price - for context, from @FelisLachesis :
14-night BW 1 Bedroom 01/02 orig $611/night now $562/n or 24% under median
If you just look at 7-night or longer listings, there ain’t many and this one is very much a winner.
@JJT have you ever noticed any similarities of the listings on price drop day? Resort, date first appeared, number of days listed, etc?
I’m curious as to why this occurs.
Price Drops:
1-night BC Studio 06/09 orig $396/night now $352/n or 25% under median
1-night BW Studio 06/10 orig $350/night now $290/n or 30% median
NEW:
1-night BW Studio 06/06 for $285/night or 31% under median
Two identical listings:
7-night SSR Studio 09/24 for $229/night or 22% under
Looking at just 7-nights or longer in Sept, maybe not the best price ever, but not a high likelihood you’ll see many, any lower - although there were a few last year.
Can’t say I’ve seen any pattern to drops in general or anything particular on an extreme “drop day”, seems to be all over place.
Drops days feel like Daisy Sue in the rental office finally decided to do something about that pile of papers on her desk. 
We’re still in the neighborhood of about 18-19% of all rentals ever changing, which continues to baffle me.
Here’s a capture of some of the listings in my “current” sheet* that are listed 20% or more ABOVE median.
| I would bet my bottom Mickey Bar that many of those listings 30% or more above median both will not change and also will remain listed until check in date. |

*Some are really past because I prune them into an archive once a week or so
Ballpark, are the price drops mostly from DVC Rental Store?
Is there anywhere to request a dedicated reservation on the forums?
Cobbled together some changed listing columns onto my simple count by site table .
This is just in my archive data file. Also, I’m rounding the percentages in these formulas, so won’t add up to 100%.
So, e.g. 24% of DVC Rental Store’s own listings in the archive ever changed in price and their changes account for 41% of all changed listings.
DVCShop and DVCRS are the big gorillas in this arms race.
Those dedicated listings are all from various sites independent of TP, so no - you have to visit the rental sites to book.
I just run this search engine project to scratch my nerdy brain itch. 
and post the more interesting ones here and in chat.

Speak of the devil:
1-night AK Jambo Studio 06/15 for $270/night or 18% under median
3-night OKW Studio 12/02 for $200/night or 30% under
Terrific price for December!
Maybe some of those high prices and AK studio trends will change:
1-night Poly Studio (Duo) 09/07 for $348/night or 30% under
We still are a little light on data for this room type when you are looking at a month by month window - if you look at all listings for this room, we’re up to 104 and this price falls in the 28-30% under median shown above, so 
But, if you zoom down to just September - there are only 11 listings for that month and this one actually sits slightly above the median line. So, 
maybe?
However, with that small data set, I’m still gonna say anything at the Poly mid $300s is at least an OK deal.
If you need a 2 person room and want to check out the new Tower, so far: not many listings lower than this.
It is so infuriating. And you can see they grab those up at 11 months.
Word is that DVC shop and RVC rental store already have plans to sue Disney over policy changes.
I see a few problems with any sort of litigation from the rental brokers. First off, I think this is Disney emphasizing something already part of contract with the points owners. I don’t think this is technically a new policy change, but enhanced enforcement of policies already in place.
Then there’s also the issue of standing. If the rental stores say that this would hurt their own points, then Disney Vacation Club can claim that the brokers are violating the terms of the ownership of points. If they say that they don’t own any points, then DVC can argue that they stand to lose nothing on the value of their 0 points.
