Unlike some market analysis methods that examine dozens or hundreds of data points and can thereby produce reporting with skewed results, Sandhills analysis uses tens of thousands of data points to deliver precise reporting. In the construction market alone, Sandhills' reporting considers over three million data points to accurately reflect true market conditions and actual used equipment values. Buyers and sellers can use the information in Sandhills Market Snapshot to monitor equipment markets and maximize returns on acquisition, liquidation, and related business decisions.

Earthmoving Equipment Values Increasing Overall
"Sandhills' Market Snapshot shows crawler dozer asking values are trending up and auction values are confirmed up," says Matt Sterup, Machinery Trader Contractors Department manager. "Short-term values for wheel loaders tell a different story. The data indicates wheel loader asking values are trending down and auction values are holding steady. When taking the long view of this data, we see that wheel loader asking values have been trending upwards since Q2 2021, so sellers need to keep a sharp eye on these values moving forward."
