Fleet Size and Availability
There are 19 Citation XLS+ & Gen2 aircraft for sale, including 1 off-market listing, representing 5.1% of the fleet. Supply is broadly stable, with a slight pullback from July’s peak.
Market Listings
Asking prices span $5,250,000 to $15,995,000, and listed aircraft average 249 days on market. Longer DOM suggests slower absorption at the top end unless pricing is tightly aligned to comps.
Sales Activity
Over the last six months, 23 aircraft sold (6 off-market) in a price range of $7,100,001 to $11,500,000, with sold aircraft averaging 138 days on market. Faster sold-DOM points to firm demand for well-priced, spec-right examples.
Key Takeaways
-Inventory oscillated (Mar–Aug: 23 → 20 → 20 → 20 → 23 → 20), ending August a touch lower than midsummer.
-Sales momentum improved in August after a July lull, with off-market deals remaining material to activity.
-Pricing discipline matters: the gap between list DOM (249) and sold DOM (138) favors market-aligned listings.
-Buyers are active in the mid-range where value and pedigree intersect; premium outliers require sharper pricing.
Key Insight
The XLS+ & Gen2 segment is balanced: steady supply, consistent absorption, and quicker closings when pricing matches recent comps—suggesting buyers have leverage on slower-moving, high-ask listings, while sellers who price to the market continue to transact efficiently.
