yes they have, at least in general.
Its more about the direct prices than the perks. or course there are other factors, supply and demand at a resort etc.
Prices are up from a year ago for sure. To me, it seems that new resale buyers are not that concerned with loss of staying at the new resorts down the road.
I'm pretty sure that resale prices go up continuously as Disney raises the prices for new purchases, regardless of which resort is current.

I know you won't likely agree but I think its because everything announced so far is very meh.
Riviera which is a more expensive BCV/BWV with access only via skyliner that has bad press every other week.
Reflections which has all sorts of jokes about it, is connected to a campground, and has 2 other DVC options "closer" to the park with basically the exact same theme.
DLR which may never happen, doesn't have permits, and most people take one look at VGC and think "I won't ever get a reservation anyways".
So now we are years out from possibly anything that someone would care about. At which point they likely can just sell their current contract, make a profit possibly (if direct prices keep going up), and then buy the new resort they actually care about.
I think I brought it up before but unless they put a new resort connected to the front gate of Epcot or on the monorail loop I don't see any resort being a draw until 2042 unless its a significant discount over the current offerings.

Negative Nancy Alert!
You make some valid points, and allude to this - Disney has no Super Prime locations available on which to build. That being said, Reflections could be in a prime location of any 5th gate (Let a man dream).I know you won't likely agree but I think its because everything announced so far is very meh.

I am pretty sure my comment was exactly that. Resale buyers not concerned about the loss of new resorts being an option...ie: not worried about staying at RIV, Reflections and beyond. Not sure why the need to single out my post or the snarky comments.

I don't think that many people think that far ahead when buying resale. If you look at the 2042 exp date contacts, they still are expensive even though they expire in 22 years. The cost per point per year for Beach Club is almost double the costs per point per year for Saratoga.
