Questions about the 1997 Beneteau Oceanis 461

How much is a 1997 Beneteau Oceanis 461 worth?

A 1997 Beneteau Oceanis 461 is worth about £82,500 in today's asking prices, most likely between £75,000 and £96,000. Based on 25 comparable boats built between 1996 and 2000, 8 of them in 1997.

What do 1997 Beneteau Oceanis 461s ask?

The 8 boats built in 1997 that we observed asked a median of £86,000 in today's prices. Each boat is counted once, at its latest asking price; these are asking prices, not sale prices.

Is a 1997 Beneteau Oceanis 461 cheaper than a 1998?

Yes, usually by about 5.6%: each newer build year of this model asks that much more, all else equal. The gap between individual boats is often larger, because hours, VAT status and where the boat lies move the price too.

How much will it lose next year?

About £4,500, or 5.3%, if the market holds where it is. That rate is fitted on 34 boats across the whole run, not a forecast of the market.

Are these sold prices?

No. Every figure here is built from asking prices seen on public listings. Boats usually sell for less than they ask; we do not yet measure by how much, so we never print a sold price as ours.
