Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 10 Citation Encore+ aircraft for sale, including 2 off-market, representing approximately 15.6% of the active fleet. This elevated availability continues to define Encore+ as a buyer-advantaged segment, providing buyers with negotiating leverage and multiple options.
Market Listings
Asking prices range from $3,900,000 to $4,800,000, with an average 286 Days on Market. Elevated days on market reflects persistent pricing resistance on average-spec aircraft, as buyers remain focused on turnkey options with engine program coverage or recent engine overhaul/hot section inspections, and good pedigree. Optimistically priced listings continue to accumulate time on market.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 4 Citation Encore+ aircraft have sold (including 2 off-market), with transactions centered around $4,400,000 and an average 228 Days on Market. Limited sales volume increases comp sensitivity, placing added importance on how each aircraft is positioned relative to recent sales.
Key Takeaways
• Fleet percentage for sale remains elevated, clearly favoring buyers.
• High days on market continues to reflect pricing friction rather than lack of demand.
• Limited transaction volume amplifies the impact of each sale on market perception.
• Off-market trades remain relevant but do not overcome optimistic pricing.
• Clean, turnkey aircraft continue to transact ahead of the broader inventory pool.
Key Insight
The Citation Encore+ remains a buyer-led market: sellers achieve efficient outcomes only through disciplined pricing and proper presentation, while over-positioned aircraft continue to pay for it in extended market exposure.
