Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about DVC resale
What is DVC Resale Plus?
DVC Resale Plus is a free aggregator that compiles DVC resale listings from multiple licensed brokers into one searchable database, saving you time and helping you find the best value.
Is buying DVC resale different from buying direct from Disney?
Yes. Resale contracts are typically 20-40% cheaper than buying direct. The main difference is that resale contracts purchased after 2011 cannot be used at non-Disney Collection resorts, though you still get full access to all DVC resorts.
How does the buying process work?
Once you find a listing you like, click View to go to the broker's website and contact them directly. DVC Resale Plus is not involved in the transaction — we simply help you discover listings.
What are annual dues?
Annual maintenance fees are charged per point and cover resort upkeep, taxes, and management. They vary by resort and increase slightly each year.
What is a use year?
Your use year is the month when your annual points reset. Common use years are February, June, September, and December. Points banking and borrowing rules are tied to this date.
Can I finance a DVC resale purchase?
Yes, some brokers offer financing options, or you can use a personal loan. Interest rates for DVC financing tend to be higher than traditional mortgages since timeshares are not real property in the traditional sense.
How long does closing take?
Typically 45-90 days from contract signing to ROFR clearance and deed recording.
