2017 HGVC Resorts with the lowest MFs

[Sky313]

My fees for 2 bedroom are 480 pounds for 2017

Thanks for clarifying. Didn't realize they had different MFs

I think phase 1 is cheaper

I wanted to know which HGVC Resorts have the lowest MFs. To me anyway, this is useful information if wanting to make a purchase purely for points. I used the MFs currently being reported in the sticky with what I believe the best point value possible at the resort. Below are the top 15.

If you see anything that I have missed or mis-calculated, please let me know and I will update.

Hi

Since I'm located in Europe it would be nice to know how much the MF is in Eur for number 1+2 in the list.

TIA.

Regards

The MFs for all of the Hilton properties that everyone has given us are located in the 2017 HGVC MFs Sticky. These were given in Euros.

Update to the Spreadsheet !!!!!!

 

[CanuckTravlr]

Thanks for all the work in keeping this spreadsheet updated, Gary! I just noticed two items that have probably occurred as you have updated the chart. I am assuming #2 (Coylumbridge) should probably have a reference to "Pound" in the non-USD column, and by the same token, there should be no reference to "Pound" for #12 (Ocean Oak).

Thanks to CanuckTravlr. Update to list!!!!!

 

[DazedandConfused]

can you expand this list to the top 30 to include more resorts?

Let me work on it. It might take a few days to develop.

I added all of the MFs now to a database and sorted by lowest MFs per points. Here is the top 30.

Here is the complete spreadsheet. I know that we are missing information because not all HGVC resorts have been posted. I also tried to properly assign the correct number of points. I usually only selected Platinum weeks since this give the lowest MF/point ratio.

I usually only selected Platinum weeks since this give the lowest MF/point ratio.

That goes without saying. But I guess it is possible that MFs at some of these really low resorts (again Euro to $ conversion aside) might even squeak by with a gold week that have a better $/MF ration that some other resorts. But I assume for the chart you only converted Platinum weeks, as they get the best bang for the buck.

Even taking into account that there are some developer subsidies, these Hilton maintenance fees are generally a LOT lower than the out-of-control fees at Marriott Vacation Club.

Thanks, that is useful information to know from a reference standpoint.

Thanks for all your work putting together such a helpful resource. Just noticed that the GPX (California) properties do not include the real estate tax in their respective MFs while most (all?) of the other properties do. This would affect their MFs-to-points ratio when RE taxes are added and potentially change their ordinal positions on the list.

Nevertheless, great job!

Yes, that should be included or at least noted. Do you happen to have that information?

 

[seagila]

I unfortunately do not own a GPX-HGVC property, so do not have that information. Perhaps the GPX owners who provided the MFs in the Stickies have the RE taxes on their statements?

Noted in the spreadsheet that the California properties don't include the Property Taxes.

Update to the top 30. Vilamoura MFs aren't collected until the middle of the year.

FYI - Property tax for Grand Pacific Palisades is not billed separately and is in fact included in the MF.

Would that also mean that the property taxes is included for all GPX?

 

[RX8]

I'm pretty sure that is true for Seapointe and Marbrisa as well.

 

[GT75]

OK, thanks. Updated table.

 

[CalGalTraveler]

GT75 Love the spreadsheet. If you haven't done so can you add this to the maintenance fee sticky?

Editing this 2017mf thread to include all the HGVC resorts for reference! (shamelessly stealing the work of SUEDONJ here )


* Please limit this thread to only the MF specifics and take discussions/commentary to the discussion boards. Thank you!

* Owners, please report your Weeks MF's as they are billed (NOT proposed/estimated) in this format:

• Resort Name/Unit Size (include Season if it's a differential)
• Operating Fee
• Replacement Reserve
• Property Taxes (or note if they're billed separately)
• Developer Subsidy (where it exists)
• Special Assessment (where it exists)
• TOTAL
• Increase/decrease over 2016 MF's whether in dollar or percentage value (because I don't blame anybody who doesn't want to do the math!)

The 2016 MF thread has been unstuck and can be found here.
The 2015 MF thread can be found here.
The 2014 MF thread can be found here.
The 2013 MF thread can be found here.

The 30 2017 HGVC Resorts with the lowest MFs can be found here.

Already there (maybe just not so obvious), but thanks for asking. I plan to layout 2018 MFs a little different with the spreadsheet being the second post of the MF sticky.
