I'm not quite understanding the rational behind this post. VDH resale could go south so don't buy resale now but instead pay more to by direct?You can easily rent out the VDH points if you purchased direct, in fact you will likely get more than $20pp for them if you rent them on your own.
I would not purchase resale at VDH at this point in time. I think Disney will have a tough time selling this resort especially with the Transient Tax. There are several FB posts of people who bought claiming not to know about this tax (although its everywhere in their documents). Disney had a tough time selling VGC when it first opened. If the same is true for VDH, some heft incentives may be coming.
Regardless, buying VDH resale without really knowing the ballpark price on where the market is landing is too risky IMO.
I'm in the "buy direct" camp all day on this one if VDH is your jam.

If they end up selling at some point then it's going to be a bigger loss having purchased direct if resale goes lower than if they purchased resale initially. Now I also do think resale will go lower than what is happening now - that's typical - but the rest of your recommendation is confusing from a financial standpoint for someone who plans to use the points only at VDH. Even if the resale market isn't timed to the lowest point it's currently lower than what they indicate they'd pay for direct.
“VDH resale can go south so buy direct and pay more” — That’s correct.
OP was steering away from Direct because MB is not offered for Canucks. The delta between resale and direct is too small to take the risk for resale and have restrictions plus only be able to use the points at VDH with high TOT.

Direct all day for VDH.
If they financed they likely would be upside down for selling much lower than what they are asking. I do expect the pricing to go lower and there might be a time to revisit it in the future if you think it still fits.We ended up passing on the VDH contract. A lot of sellers wouldn’t go down much, if at all, from their asking and we weren’t comfortable paying more than $150 per point. With the news about Poly Tower today we may wait and see if Poly Tower direct offers great pricing like VGF and buy some points direct there.
We can agree to disagree. I've stated my opinion twice now. I'll save my burden of proof for when I fight my next traffic ticket.What risk of resale? That still remains unclear from your posts. One might say the risk of direct and losing more if one sells later.
They have other points to use elsewhere. They plan to use these points only at VDH. And resale points can also be rented out for $20/pt or more the same as direct VDH.
Our plan is to use non-VGC resale points at VGC when we can, but to just stay offsite on Harbor at Disneyland when we can't.

And the Westin was how much for the same night…. $250-$400?I was able to get one night short notice in May, so I looked at adding another night and paying. Holy Moly with taxes and parking over $1000 for a studio. No I do not think prices will crash
