The DH is a sucker for the update so we try to plan them early in the morning before the kids get up. Not as easy to do at WKORV, where 6am is noon body time. Regardless, we wandered over for our 8:25 am meeting.
We were loving our OF unit (6th floor building 2, bought resale and retro'd, reserved at 9am 12 months out) so the only thing we might be interested in is trading our OV for another OF or maybe OFD. They were not interested in buying back our OV since it was a resale, even tho they had no inventory other than what they are getting from ROFR. They would happily sell us a new OFD for $124,900 (only 2 or 3 left out of an initial inventory of 12!) or with a net purchase of $75K (sell them back one of a set of properties from our portfolio, add $75K of our own money, and it's ours!). They were interested in WSJ, WKV, and maybe HRA. Not interested in WLR (no surprise), SBP, or WMH. So no deal. They also had a fixed Christmas week WKORV-N OF if we were interested. That doesn't work for our kid schedule, so again, no deal.
Other things we heard: WKORVNN is still in the pushing dirt stage. 2BR (no lockoffs) are still the size that Maui will allow. No plans approved yet.
People had booked the week before Easter through places like AAA -- so clearly Starwood is holding back weeks from Owners for rental. Boo.
Other updates in another note later.
