Fleet Size and Availability
There are 18 Citation CJ2 aircraft for sale, including 1 off-market listing, representing 7.7% of the active fleet. Inventory is down from last month’s ~20 and sits mid-range relative to the last six months, which swung from ~25 in March to 17 in June–July, indicating a stable but tighter supply backdrop.
Market Listings
Asking prices span $2,000,000 to $3,700,000, with listed aircraft averaging 206 days on market. DOM has improved versus midsummer, suggesting older inventory is clearing while pricing remains steady within the established band.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 20 aircraft have sold (including 2 off-market), with sale prices ranging $2,400,000 to $3,300,000 and an average 201 days on market. The sales pace has been consistent overall, though the monthly cadence eased to 1 sale in both July and August after peaking at 6 in May.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory edged lower M/M to 18 units after a brief August uptick, keeping availability near the six-month average.
• Sales cadence softened in late summer (1 sale in July and August) following a May high, pointing to seasonal demand moderation rather than a structural shift.
• Pricing remains well-anchored, with a narrow gap between asking and sold ranges and firm activity in the $2.4M–$3.3M band.
• Minimal DOM spread (206 listed vs. 201 sold) signals that market-aligned aircraft are transacting without extended marketing tails.
• Buyer/Seller guidance: Buyers have slightly more selection than early summer but should move quickly on well-spec’d, pedigree examples; sellers should price to recent comps and ensure presentation/prebuy readiness to capture active demand.
Key Insight
The CJ2 market is steady and price-disciplined: inventory has eased from August while turnover remains healthy, and the narrow ask-to-sold window favors well-positioned listings—a cue for sellers to stay realistic on price and for buyers to be decisive when quality airframes surface.
