The Phenom 300 market enters September with exceptionally limited inventory following strong absorption over the past six months. There are currently just six aircraft available for sale, representing only 1.2% of the fleet, compared with 24 retail transactions during the past six months. Inventory has fallen sharply since the spring, while transaction activity accelerated during the summer, creating a market with very limited selection for buyers.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 6 Phenom 300 aircraft available for sale, representing just 1.2% of the fleet.
Inventory has declined steadily throughout the reporting period. There were 14 aircraft available in March, followed by 13 in both April and May. Supply then dropped to nine in June, six in July, and just five in August.
This represents a decline of nearly two-thirds from March through August and leaves buyers with considerably fewer options than were available earlier this year.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range from $6.5 million to $9.7 million, compared with a $6.3 million to $9.8 million range for aircraft sold during the past six months. The close alignment between the two ranges indicates that recent transactions have occurred across much of the same pricing spectrum as today’s available inventory.
One notable metric is Days on Market. Current listings average 352 days on market, compared with 190 days for recently sold aircraft. With so little inventory available, the elevated DOM among current listings suggests that some of the remaining aircraft may have individual factors limiting buyer interest despite the broader market’s strength.
Sales Activity
There have been 24 retail sales during the past six months, including 10 off-market transactions, representing 4.8% of the fleet.
Monthly activity has varied considerably. Seven aircraft sold in March before transactions fell to two in April and one in May. Activity rebounded strongly with five sales in June and six in July before moderating to three in August.
Importantly, 10 of the 24 transactions occurred off-market, demonstrating that a meaningful portion of Phenom 300 activity is taking place without aircraft being broadly advertised.
What this means for you:
Six aircraft available against 24 sold in the past six months. That ratio, four transactions for every aircraft currently listed, is one of the tightest supply-demand pictures in the market right now. And 10 of those 24 sales happened off-market, meaning the publicly listed inventory represents only part of what is actually trading. If you are a seller with an aircraft currently sitting at 352 days on market while others have sold in 190, the market has been telling you something for a while. Demand is clearly not the issue, 14 sales in the last three months alone confirms that. Positioning is. A well-priced, well-presented aircraft in this environment should not be accumulating that kind of exposure. If you are considering listing and your aircraft is not yet on the market, you are entering with almost no public competition. If you are a buyer, six aircraft available and nearly half of all recent transactions happening off-market means what you see publicly is not the full picture. Working with someone who has direct access to this network is not a nice-to-have, it is the only way to see the complete market.
