The second table compares the "total" cost of a resort annually. A resort may have a low initial cost but a high annual dues cost. A simple economic valuation considers the initial purchase price and yearly dues cost. The analysis is calculated by taking the initial contract's current cost and dividing it by the remaining years on the DVC contract to give some value to DVC resorts with longer contract end dates. The amount represents the initial purchase's annual cost, and by adding the current yearly dues cost/point, you get an average annual value comparable to other resorts. For June, the most economical resorts for a RESALE purchase are Copper Creek ($11.39/point) and Bay Lake Tower ($11.55/point). Vero Beach ($17.11/point), Beach Club and Grand Californian ($16.20/point) are the least economical. For a DIRECT DISNEY purchase, the best resort is Grand Floridian ($13.38/point), with Beach Club being the worst ($24.26/point)
DVC properties with a 2042 contract end date had an average drop of 0.5% from last month. Due to the lack of remaining years on the contract, the value of these contracts is expected to be accelerated. In June, non-2042 contracts showed an increase in value of 1.9%.
