Should I Counter a Low DVC Resale Offer? That’s a question many sellers face — and the answer is often yes. While receiving a low offer can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve priced your DVC membership fairly, it’s important to see the offer for what it is: a starting point, not a final statement.
Buyers may be testing the waters, gauging your flexibility, or simply unaware of your contract’s full value. In most cases, a calm, strategic response works better than rejection.
You can counter at your asking price to clearly show you’re firm. This keeps the conversation open while reinforcing your confidence in your pricing. If you’re willing to negotiate, you might offer a slight adjustment to keep momentum and encourage a better counter from the buyer.
Avoid rejecting the offer outright—that ends the dialogue completely. A counter, even one at full asking price, gives the buyer something to consider. It keeps you in the game and puts the next move on their side.
Don’t take the offer personally. Many buyers submit multiple offers quickly, hoping to start a conversation. Your professional and timely response sets the tone for how negotiations will proceed.
Be sure to respond quickly. Buyers often go with the first seller who replies, even if others eventually accept their offer. Delaying can mean losing a potential deal.
To better position your listing, check Section 3 of your View Details page to see where your price ranks. Staying within the top 8 by price per point usually leads to stronger interest. In Section 5, you can enable the Low Offer Tool to filter out offers below your threshold.
