DVC You There! - Now with Bonus Content

Want to highlight the 5-night BC listing in the new ones below that is the SUPERSTAR of the day and has elicited another Arnold…

Price Drops

1-night BW Studio 07/11 orig $396/night now $296/n or 28% under median

7-night SSR Studio 07/20 orig $355/night now $210/n or 29% median

This one is a real winner - even when just looking 2-nights or longer in July:

Have only recorded one lower priced 7-night or longer listing back in 2023. Last year, the lowest >=7-nighter was $277/night.

2-night SSR Studio 08/15 orig $357/night now $209/n or 29% median
https://www.dvcstore.com/pre-booked-form.cfm?IDNumber=1208

1-night Riviera Studio 10/28 orig $552/night now $384/n or 20% median

Too bad this is a 1-nighter - is about as low as it goes in October for a Riviera studio - and this is a Preferred room!

These $416 Poly studios may not be the lowest ever, but really is near bottom of the chart and anything lower is super rando.

1-night Poly Studio 07/17 for $416/night or 21% under median

Here’s how this one compares to all dates, btw:

If I throttle to just show 5-nights or longer, it is even more dramatic.

Good morning JTT. I hate to add to anyone’s to-do list but your DVC rental search engine site is showing some type of usage limit warning. Is this something you can fix or is the site no longer being updated?

Thank you! I appreciate the information you bring to the boards.

Indeed it is!

Thanks for the heads up!

I use a free tier, but last time I checked I was only at 85% of the limit - but I think some testing I did yesterday might have pushed me over if some test data I uploaded is being counted. (I didn’t think it would be.) I’ll check now!

So, it looks like my test data from yesterday did push me over the top.

I’ve removed it and am below the threshold now, but I have no idea how long it might take for the system to realize that - or if it stays locked down until the end of the month? (If I’m reading the dashboard correctly, my month ends on 7/18.)

Caspio’s support info and documentation isn’t great for free accounts.

Guess I’ll see if the app wakes back up, if not I might create a new “backup” account where I should be able to upload my application and data pretty quickly.

ETA: I opened a ticket to ask if the app will come back online automagically now that the data is below limit or if they have to re-enable it.

Price Drops

These 2 listings appeared back in May within a day of each other and both dropped today.

2-night SSR 2 Bedroom 08/07 orig $750/night now $600/n or 18% under median

2-night SSR 2 Bedroom 08/09 orig $750/night now $600/n or 18% median

While there have been a couple of (much) lower-priced rentals for this room in August before, we’re talking 2 listings out of 12 total in Augusts. So, imma say this is a good price for that time frame.

You can see in this all dates chart that there are several other time periods in the year when we’ve seen SSR 2BR for much lower prices.

We may see some lower ones appear for Sept, but not lower by much except for random ones. This be a good price I would grab if I wanted dates in Sept at the GF.

Still no response to my relatively simple ticket, but finally received an automated email from Caspio about being over the limit. Looks like my search will be re-enabled tomorrow.

" Thank you for using Caspio. We wanted to let you know that you have exceeded your data records limit.

Your apps are now disabled unless you remove enough data records to stay within your data records limit. Once excess data records is removed, your account will be restored the following day."

All of the lower dots to the left of this listing are 2-nighters, FWIW.

Those are both checks notes NUTS.

5-night OKW 1 Bedroom 09/07 for $400/night or 26% under

3-night Riviera Studio 09/21 for $364/night or 24% under

14-night OKW Studio 01/24 for $233/night or 18% under

Have only been ten 14-night OKW studios since 2023

If you compare to all 7-nights or longer, is at the bottom of the scale with only a smallish batch of lower priced listings.

7-night BC Studio 02/07 for $381/night or 19% under

That is as low as you might expect in that time frame even when looking at all dates 2-nights or longer.

For the record - if you want a 7-night Beach Club studio during the year - 7 months is the most likely time to see them pop at this lower price.

This made me curious. The night of the 27th is actually currently available and I’d be willing to bet the 23rd was available yesterday. Seems a good way to burn those holding points that Len had referenced these rental companies churning. $15pp is a very good deal for the customer as well.

The answer seemed to be: they reset the system some time around 8-8:30AM each day, so search engine came back online around then.
