Fleet Size and Availability
There are 21 Citation CJ2 aircraft for sale, including 2 off-market listings, representing 8.9% of the active fleet. Inventory has risen slightly since late summer but remains within the normal range of the past year. The CJ2’s fleet percentage remains moderate, signaling continued buyer interest balanced by a steady flow of new listings heading into Q4.
Market Listings
Asking prices currently range from $2,000,000 to $3,950,000, with listings averaging 182 days on market. This represents a mild improvement from late Q2, when average DOM exceeded 200 days. Sellers continue to test higher pricing, though most transactions occur within 5–7% of final asking values.
Sales Activity
Over the last six months, 17 aircraft have sold, including 1 off-market transaction, with sale prices between $2,000,000 and $3,200,000. Sales volume has held steady, averaging three per month. Sold aircraft spent an average of 191 days on market, roughly in line with long-term absorption rates.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory remains well-balanced, giving buyers choice without significant price erosion.
• Recent activity suggests buyers are taking advantage of year-end tax incentives and looking at the CJ2 with new eyes due to the Garmin panel upgrade options now available.
• Days on Market is declining for well-documented, program-enrolled examples, indicating selective demand.
• Off-market transactions continue to supplement visible supply, especially for higher-pedigree aircraft.
• Pricing remains firm as sellers show limited flexibility on turnkey listings.
Key Insight
The Citation CJ2 market enters year-end balanced and resilient, with pricing stability and consistent turnover reinforcing confidence. Buyers benefit from moderate inventory and stable values, while sellers continue to enjoy solid demand for clean, pedigree aircraft as 2025 closes.
