I also tend to do 1BRs. The 1BR premium is interesting to me how it varies by resort. In theory, it should be based on square footage, but in my analysis it does not usually correlate to that. I'm assuming demand is what causes the variation.
VGF has the highest premium for a 1BR, and that's partly why I didn't buy there this summer. I'm assuming there is demand that is pushing the points premium that high at VGF? Because BLT does not have the same premium for 1BRs. But overall it feels like there is no rhyme or reason to the 1BR premium.
