Net of SVN and ARDA is $2,356.93, an increase of $101.56 (4.5%).

We own an EOY WPORV - our base MFs (w/o SVN, Resort Fee, and ARDA) went from $1097.68 (2010) to $1148.47 - which is a 4.63% increase. There is a $30 (iirc) admin charge for owning an EOY included here.

Including SVN, ARDA and other fees can complicate the year-to-year %increase since they alter the calculation, and not similar for all Owners.

They must be building the refurbishing fee into the Original phase because I own at both (EOY in phase I) and the (EY) Palmetto phase is slightly bigger and the MF are almost $300 less- $674.73 vs $965.28
or it coul be the subsidy paid by Starwood because they are still in active sales. Either way the MF at SBP Palmetto are so much more reasonable.
