What moves the price

Each factor compares boats of the same age, so a newer boat's premium isn't counted twice. Five boats or more on each side, or we say so.

These are asking prices, and asking is not selling. Days listed so far is not time to sell: a boat still listed has not sold, and we do not yet record when a listing ends. We have not measured how far sale prices land below asking; the methodology says what we can and cannot measure.

About the Carver 406

The boats behind this page were built between 1999 and 2002 and have been listed since Sep 2020, most often in the US market. 14% of the boats seen at least 14 days apart have cut their asking price.

How we measure: we read public listings from brokers and marketplaces, count a boat once when it appears on several sites, store its asking price each time it changes, and restate older asking prices at today's market level. We never republish a listing, a photograph or a seller. Every figure is recomputed nightly and dated; below five boats we publish nothing. The 12 boats here were listed in the US. Full methodology
