“The Canadian market continued to decrease, with declines that (were) less than the prior week,” said CBB in its update. “Supply is building with stable demand for vehicles at auction on both sides of the border.”
In the United States, CBB said the market continues to report “normalcy,” with overall declines on-pace with pre-pandemic behaviour. “However, the trends aren’t one size fits all, with the trends of auction inventory and conversion rates varying from lane to lane, depending on the seller’s strategy and offered inventory.”
Back in Canada, premium sports cars experienced the least declines with -0.04%, followed by sports cars at -0.13% and near luxury cars with -0.18%. The most notable decrease came from luxury cars (-0.88%), followed by compact cars (-0.58%) and sub-compact cars (-0.55%).
As for trucks/SUVs, CBB said the segments with the most notable depreciations were full-size luxury crossovers/SUVs (-0.29%) and compact crossovers/SUVs (-0.26%). In addition, three categories showed no change in pricing: sub-compact luxury crossovers, minivans, and sub-compact crossovers.
