IRVINE, Calif., April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Performance Brokerage Services, North America’s highest-volume dealership brokerage firm, has released a market insight whitepaper following the 2026 NADC Annual Member Conference titled, “Driving Value: Navigating the Dealership Buy-Sell Market,” written by Jesse Stopnitzky, Co-Owner of Performance Brokerage Services.
The report offers a grounded view of what’s driving dealership transactions today, including the trends, challenges and opportunities shaping the buy-sell landscape. It also examines the valuation forces at play and the human side of ownership transitions, where legacy, family, and values intersect.
Amid a stabilizing post-pandemic environment, the analysis outlines key trends shaping dealership transactions, including normalized valuations, renewed buyer confidence, and the growing role of alternative capital sources such as family offices and automotive focused investment firms. While transaction activity has moderated from peak levels, 2025 still recorded 382 dealership sales, which is well above pre-pandemic highs.
The report also emphasizes a forward-looking approach to dealership valuation, focusing on long-term earnings potential, return on investment, and a comprehensive set of operational and market factors.
Looking ahead to 2026, Performance Brokerage Services anticipates continued strength in the buy-sell market, with buyer demand outpacing supply and conditions remaining favorable for sellers who are well-prepared.
