Data as of April 13, 2026
The Citation M2 market had been showing clear tightening following the Q4 peak, but over the past two weeks we are beginning to see early signs of a shift in momentum. While inventory remains below late-2025 highs, new aircraft are entering the market at a faster pace, and buyer activity has softened slightly.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 28 aircraft for sale (11 off-market), representing 9.2% of the fleet.
Although six-month trends show declining inventory, recent weeks have introduced a noticeable increase in new listings, suggesting that supply may begin to rebuild. Off-market opportunities remain elevated, continuing to account for a meaningful portion of available aircraft.
Market Listings
The current asking price range is $3,395,000 to $4,795,000.
Pricing remains firm overall, particularly for well-equipped aircraft with desirable cosmetics and engine program coverage. However, with more inventory entering the market, pricing discipline is becoming increasingly important to maintain competitiveness.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 38 aircraft have sold (8 off-market), with a sold range of $2,000,000 to $4,950,000.
While transaction volume has remained steady, buyer urgency has moderated in recent weeks, extending decision timelines. This appears to be driven, in part, by heightened geopolitical uncertainty—particularly in the Middle East—which is impacting buyer confidence across the market.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory had been tightening, but is now beginning to rebuild
• Buyer activity has softened slightly in recent weeks
• Pricing remains firm but increasingly competitive
• Off-market opportunities continue to play a significant role
• Market sentiment is being influenced by external geopolitical factors
Key Insight
While the M2 market had been trending toward a seller-favorable position, recent developments suggest a pause in momentum. As new inventory enters and buyers take a more measured approach, the near-term environment is likely to favor those sellers who combine strong presentation with disciplined pricing and proactive market engagement.
