Black Book is seeing a stable start to auction activity this month.

The newest Market Insights Report showed prices for both cars and trucks softened at the same rate last week as Black Book lane watchers shared observations that aligned with the data editors compiled.

Black Book reported that overall car segment values on a volume-weighted basis decreased by 0.44 percent last week. In comparison, the market values for these vehicles had decreased by 0.66 percent on average during the prior four-week period.

Among cars, editors noticed the sub-compact car and compact car segments experienced the smallest drops, ticking down by just $18 and $24, respectively.

Again volume-weighted, Black Book determined overall truck segment values (including pickups, SUVs and vans) also dropped by 0.44 percent last week. During the previous four-week span, the average decline for trucks came in at 0.59 percent.

In the truck space, editors found that sub-compact luxury crossovers sustained the biggest price drop, sliding by 1.5 percent or $250.

“Weekly depreciation dropped to the lowest level in nine weeks. The car segments and light truck segments registered similar depreciation rates last week,” said Anil Goyal, executive vice president of operations for Black Book.

Turning next to Black Book’s representatives stationed at nearly 60 sales nationwide, the anecdotes reflected a mix of lane intensity. Here is the rundown:

— From Pennsylvania: “The market here could best be characterized as steady. The really nice merchandise is bringing very good money.”

— From Georgia: “Passenger cars sold well, but the same could not be said for the SUVs.”

— From California: “There was active bidding in most of the lanes today. Cars, trucks and SUVs all sold well. For example, a 2016 pickup truck with 81,000 miles brought very strong money.”

— From Indiana: “Anything nice will sell. Consignment was down, and we had many more buyers than sellers.”

— From Nevada: “The high-line lanes were soft as two of the biggest consignors weren’t willing to lower floors to meet the bids.”
