Finding the unicorn- Subsidized Aulani

[Jimmy Geppetto]

Has anyone here ever seen a subsidized Vero Beach Resort contract for sale?

Yes. Many times. But less frequent than AUL.

Do they carry a 30% premium too? Is the difference between dues also 25%? Have you purchased?

Not sure how much they go for, the difference in dues looks to be a touch over 21% decrease in dues.

That still comes out to like $8 right?

Vero Beach subsidized dues are 10.13 for 2023. Unsubsidized is 12.85 :X

Lots of subsidized Aulani contracts on the market right now! Gotta search every nook and cranny of my house for extra pennies

My first was an Apr UY in 2019. The one I got closing in 2024 is DEC! I deduce from it being a FW52 that original buyer was DVC or time-share veteran. Truly a rarity.

My twin 80-pt sub contracts are Feb UY. That's why these Feb and March subs are so dangerous for me!

Oh man! Can't imagine...oh wait, I can. That's a problem! Hahaha!

Hi all, can someone please tell me if Sept UY subs exist??!

Hi all, can someone please tell me if Sept UY subs exist??!

I would say they should exist. Based on this thread, sales started July 2010 and we know that any deed recorded prior to July 6, 2011 is subsidized - so that's a full year of sales. That thread also confirms some Sep UY deeds were indeed filed.

That said, I've been somewhat following the market (less so lately, as we're done buying) and I've seen primarily March and February subsidized contracts and also a Dec UY involving a fixed New Year's week. I would think Sep is a less popular UY since most people with kids who want to go during Spring Break or Summer would like a Feb-April UY (maybe also June), and for the Nov-Dec holidays, an Oct or Dec UY may be more popular. However, a lot of those early buyers were Japanese and their travel habits and preferences might differ.

I haven't noticed any Sept UY subsidized accounts, but this is also not a UY I would prefer, so if I did see it, it may not have registered. I mostly see June (what I have and sister/BIL have), February, and March.

Just made an offer on one in my use year! We are West Coasters and Hawaii is easy for us-did our first Aulani trip this year. Great sleep around points.

Scott at the timeshare store said they had five all of last year but one seller had three today.

I purchased a contract with them last year, everything went very smoothly.
