Methodology

Compiled September 5, 2026 by YachtBazar, entirely from its own live catalog — no external price guides. Snapshot: 43 active by-owner Contender listings, of which 43 carry a numeric asking price (the study universe). Every figure is a median, not a mean, and any cell with fewer than 8 boats is omitted rather than shown. These are asking prices on active for-sale-by-owner listings, not closed sale prices: they show what the by-owner market is asking, not what buyers ultimately paid. Figures recompute automatically as listings are added or sell; the compile date above is when this data snapshot was built.
