Hot market?

Hello, everyone.

We've continued to do our due diligence and make sure we are making the right choice in vessel. While it's been difficult to overcome the FOMO, we've walked away from several deals because they weren't right for us. Admittedly, our goals have changed a bit too.

The question I have is: is the market still considered "hot"? We've only tracked the market for the last 16 months or so. I see boats listings lasting longer but prices haven't dropped much.

Those of you who have been watching for 3-4 years, what's the % in overall pricing have you seen? (Let's just ignore inflation for the moment).

Thanks, all!

It's been bonkers for the last couple of years, but the last month or two it seems to have actually started slowing slightly.

Market is changing - FOMO is now sellers looking to cash out at premium price so price drops will lag. Dust will settle in 6-months or so.

US stock market has now dipped into bear territory. That plus inflation, gas, etc... the next year should be interesting. I wouldn't be buying a larger boat now, til we see how things go in the next half year.

Re: Hot market?

Fuel prices are through the roof. Boating will be dead this summer. Power boats will be given away for free in 1-2 years. Because Nobody can afford to fill them up.

I predict boating will go away for 10 years untill electric ones become feasable.

Well, of course time is more precious than money, and of course, if you want a big boat now and you can afford current prices, then you shouldn't hesitate.

But as always, the secret to happiness is not getting what you want, but being happy with what you have. You don't need a big newer boat to cruise; if prices have made that goal elusive, go cheap, go small, go now. And get your larger boat later, when the prices drop.

A lot of that will really depend on power or sail. Were I am, the majority of boats are sail so fuel prices will likely have much less of an impact on actually going out.

Well aside from those small fishing boats and damned jetskis! But them going out less is safer for the rest of us!

Re: Hot market?

I just went into contract on a boat I consider fairly priced "today." In other words, probably what it was worth in 2019-20 pre-covid. Most listings still are asking and holding out for a covid premium, but I think that will change soon because a) the economy, b) covid buyers are quickly learning true costs, and c) prime selling/buying season in Northeast and Florida is ending and yet, from my unofficial observation, more boats have been hitting the market in the past couple of weeks.

Re: Hot market?

I'm 3.5 to 4 years out from buying. I think the market has peaked in the USA. We are about to see a steep drop. I'm already seeing the effects of fuel prices on the lake where I currently sail. Boat traffic is way down.

Don't forget: d) interest rates have had 3 rate increases already and the next predicted one is expect to be the biggest jump yet!

Interest rate changes are already having a cooling effect

Very accurate observation and it identifies a real causal effect. Many people, lulled into a sense of complacency by a steady interest rate world have maintained variable mortgages and each jump in rate raises their cost of living. Even if they aren't in line to buy a boat they are a part of the economy that becomes bearish.
