Fleet Size and Availability
There are 22 Citation CJ2 aircraft for sale, including 3 off-market listings, representing 9.4% of the active fleet. Inventory has edged modestly lower from late-2025 levels, reflecting steady absorption into year-end without a corresponding surge in new listings. Buyers have plenty of aircraft to choose from in the Citation CJ2 market.
Market Listings
Asking prices currently range from $2,050,000 to $3,700,000, with active listings averaging 237 Days on Market. The elevated DOM reflects a growing concentration of aging listings, particularly aircraft with dated avionics, weaker or no engine program coverage, or prior damage and corrosion history. Well-presented, high pedigree aircraft continue to stand out from the broader pool of CJ2s for sale.
Sales Activity
Over the last six months, 13 Citation CJ2s have sold, including 3 off-market transactions, at prices ranging from $2,000,000 to approximately $3,100,000. Sold aircraft averaged 174 Days on Market, materially faster than current listings. Sales activity moderated into December, though overall turnover remains consistent with a stable, functioning market.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory has eased slightly, helping prevent further pressure on pricing.
• The widening gap between active DOM (237 days) and sold DOM (174 days) continues to reward realistic sellers.
• Off-market sourcing remains a meaningful part of preowned aircraft transactions.
• Buyers remain highly selective, prioritizing clean pedigrees, newer cosmetics, and upgraded avionics.
• Turnkey aircraft continue to outperform the average CJ2.
Key Insight
The Citation CJ2 starts 2026 in a steady, buyer-selective market. There are still options available, but aircraft that are priced right and turn-key are the ones moving. When pricing aligns with recent comps, sales continue to close within a predictable number of days on market. Overall, the CJ2 remains a dependable and liquid segment of the preowned light jet market.
