Among the same vessels followed through both months, 5.9% reduced in August and 7.0% in September. About 92% of September’s reducers had not reduced in August — more sellers moving, not the same ones cutting again.
More boats adjusted their asking prices, without a larger typical cut.
Across 10,928 vessels observed through September, 778 asking prices were reduced by more than 2% and 45 were raised; 92.5% held within the reporting threshold. Among the boats reduced, the median reduction was 9.1%, against 9.0% in August — so September’s story is broader participation in adjustment, not a general move towards deeper cuts. Higher asking-price bands became more active, while the lower end no longer stood apart in reduction frequency.
Advertised asking prices, and the changes sellers make to them — not transaction prices. Movement is measured on vessels observed at both ends of the month, in the currency of the original listing, with changes within ±2% treated as unchanged.
What it does not claim: that asking prices are completed transaction values; that a listing leaving the market is a confirmed sale; or that a tracked sample share estimates a whole national market. The report states the limits of each figure alongside it.
