Re: Newport coast Villa's (by William M.):

Looks like slow sales changed their minds on a substantial price hike. Using your <October 2006> numbers, Gold is up 7,600 and Platinum is up 8,000 from 2004.

I do find it interesting that they changed the surrender points on Platinum from 110,000 to 125,000. Might be some older owners a little irritated about that if it only applies to newer purchases.

Readers should be aware that NCV is a pretty easy trade, except for summer season, using one bedroom Marriott's (2BR's locked off), through II. Even a white MDS usually can pull it. Until construction completes, even summer should trade into fairly well, though not with 1BR units IME.
