Which spends less time on the market?

Boats of the Beneteau Oceanis 411 had been listed a median of 514 days when we last saw them, against 36 days for the Catalina Yachts 380. That is time listed so far, not time to sell, which we don't measure yet. 21% of the Beneteau Oceanis 411 boats we saw 14 or more days apart cut their asking price, against 40% of the Catalina Yachts 380 boats.

How do you compare them like for like?

We compare boats of the same build year. For each of the 6 years both models have boats in, we take the ratio of their median asking prices in today's prices, then pool the years, giving more weight to years with more boats on both sides. The figure is Indicative because the thinner side has 12 boats in those years. The Gauge Values compare the whole fleets instead, so they mix boats of different ages.
