The range
Every model by the build years of the boats we have seen, grouped by range. The figure is the median asking price. Dashed models have too few boats to publish yet.

Which hold value best
Share of asking price lost for each year of age. Shorter is better. The tick marks the same type of boat from other builders. Models need 20 boats across six build years, and a consistent fit, to be ranked.
The Pearson 365 is the only Pearson model with enough boats to rank: it loses 0.3% a year of age.
Against other builders
The five builders whose boats most overlap with Pearson's by type and length, on the same basis.

Questions about Pearson prices
How much does a used Pearson cost?
A used Pearson asks a median of £19,000 across 173 boats listed since Sep 2020, in today's prices. The middle half ask between £12,500 and £29,500. These are asking prices, not sold prices.
Does a Pearson hold its value?
Across the range, a used Pearson loses about 2.6% of its asking price for each year of age, against 3.7% for the same types of boat from other builders. The Pearson 365 holds value best, at 0.3% a year.
Why is a Pearson model missing a price?
We publish a model once five boats have been listed. 22 models are listed above with their count so far, including the Pearson 28, the Pearson 39 and the Countess 44, and will get a published figure when they reach five.
