The Citation M2 Gen2 market continues to perform exceptionally well, supported by strong owner-pilot demand, limited production availability, and a steady flow of retail transactions. As one of the newest aircraft in the Citation lineup, the M2 Gen2 benefits from modern avionics, updated cabin technology, and factory-backed support that continues to attract first-time jet owners and fleet operators alike. While inventory levels have increased over the past six months, sales activity has remained robust, resulting in a healthy and active marketplace.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 9 Citation M2 Gen2 aircraft available for sale, including 2 off-market opportunities, representing 9.0% of the fleet.
Inventory has gradually increased from four aircraft available in December to nine aircraft today. While buyers have more options than they did earlier this year, available inventory remains relatively limited when viewed against overall demand. The market appears to have reached a temporary equilibrium, with inventory levels stabilizing during the past several months.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range from $5,435,000 to $7,400,000, with active listings averaging 102 days on market.
Because the M2 Gen2 is still a relatively young fleet, value differences are typically driven by total time, warranty coverage, engine program enrollment, and buyer aesthetic preferences. For buyers outside of the US, equipment becomes more important with TCAS II being a standard request. Aircraft with remaining factory warranty coverage and on TAP Blue continue to generate the strongest buyer interest and often achieve premium pricing. Earlier M2 Gen2 options have been experiencing downward pricing pressure in the last few months.
Current marketing times indicate that properly positioned aircraft continue to attract buyers in a reasonable timeframe despite the increase in available inventory.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 15 Citation M2 Gen2 aircraft have sold, including 2 off-market transactions, representing 15.0% of the fleet. Sold aircraft traded between $5,150,000 and $7,100,000.
Completed transactions averaged just 71 days on market, significantly faster than current active listings. This reflects strong buyer demand and demonstrates that well-priced aircraft continue to move quickly when brought to market.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory increased from 4 aircraft to 9 aircraft over the past six months
• Fifteen aircraft sold during the same period, representing 15.0% of the fleet
• Average sales marketing time of 71 days reflects strong buyer demand
• Factory warranty coverage and TAP Blue enrollment remain important value drivers
• Inventory remains relatively limited despite the recent increase in available aircraft
Key Insight
The Citation M2 Gen2 market remains one of the strongest segments within the entry-level jet category. Transaction volume continues to outpace current inventory levels, and aircraft are generally selling faster than active listings suggest. While buyers are seeing more options than they did earlier in the year, demand remains healthy and competition for low-time, well-equipped aircraft continues to support values across the fleet.
