Asking prices are not necessarily selling prices. eBay or contact with a broker specializing in Marriott resales is a better source of market information, in my opinion. My experience has been that ROFR becomes an issue for >16K for platinum and >12K for gold. We own in both seasons and purchased developer a number of years ago. FMV IMO should be around 18K platinum and 13K gold. Obviously, this fluctuates and I expect it to lower somewhat this year with the news of Marriott's coming internal trade system and grandfathering of resale intervals and other procedural changes. I expect Marriott to pursue ROFR a bit more aggressively if resale prices decline, especially if foreign buyers are increasingly attracted to the SoCal by our cheap dollar. The resort is still in active sales and developer pricing has upticked pretty aggressively since we bought, though it's softened in the last year.
