Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 17 Citation CJ2 aircraft for sale, including 3 off-market, representing approximately 7.2% of all CJ2s in service. Inventory has tightened meaningfully since late 2025, continuing the gradual absorption trend observed over the past several months.
Market Listings
Asking prices range from $2,050,000 to $3,700,000, with an average 247 Days on Market. While availability has declined, days on market remains elevated, reflecting pricing challenges on aircraft with damage history or weaker presentation. High-pedigree aircraft continue to stand out in a narrowing inventory field.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 17 Citation CJ2 aircraft have sold (including 5 off-market), transacting between approximately $2,000,000 and $3,700,000, with an average 184 Days on Market. The fact that sold aircraft moved faster than current listings confirms that realistically priced CJ2s are still clearing, even as buyers remain selective.
Key Takeaways
• Tighter inventory has modestly improved seller leverage.
• Elevated days on market reflect pricing sensitivity rather than lack of demand.
• Buyers continue to focus on finding high-pedigree options.
• Off-market activity remains relevant when seeking higher-pedigree aircraft.
• Presentation and pedigree materially influence how quickly aircraft sell.
Key Insight
The Citation CJ2 market is tightening, but outcomes remain execution-driven: sellers who align pricing with pedigree continue to transact, while optimistic positioning results in extended market exposure and ultimately, price reductions.
