The Gulfstream G650 market enters September with limited inventory but relatively modest transaction activity. There are currently six aircraft available for sale, representing 4.2% of the fleet, while seven aircraft have sold during the past six months. Inventory increased during July and remained steady in August, while sales activity has been sporadic and heavily weighted toward off-market transactions.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently six Gulfstream G650s available for sale, representing 4.2% of the fleet.
Inventory has fluctuated within a relatively narrow range over the past six months. Four aircraft were available in March, increasing to five in April before declining to three in both May and June. Availability then doubled to six aircraft in July and remained at six through August.
Although the absolute number of available aircraft remains low, the recent increase in supply is notable given the limited transaction activity over the same period.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range from $30.5 million to $42.95 million, while reported transactions during the past six months ranged from $36.0 million to $36.8 million.
Current listings average 255 days on market, compared with 180 days for recently sold aircraft. That 75-day difference suggests that some of today’s available inventory has been exposed to the market considerably longer than aircraft that successfully transacted.
With a relatively small sample size, aircraft-specific differences can have a significant impact on both pricing and days-on-market statistics.
Sales Activity
There have been seven retail sales during the past six months, including five off-market transactions, representing 4.9% of the fleet.
Sales activity peaked in May with four transactions. March and April each recorded one sale, followed by no transactions in June, one in July and none in August.
The fact that five of the seven transactions occurred off-market is significant, leaving only two publicly marketed sales during the entire six-month period.
Key Takeaways
- Six aircraft are currently available, representing 4.2% of the fleet.
- Inventory doubled from three aircraft in June to six in July.
- Seven aircraft sold during the past six months, including five off-market transactions.
- Current asking prices range from $30.5 million to $42.95 million.
- Current listings average 255 DOM versus 180 days for recently sold aircraft.
- No transactions were recorded in August.
Key Insight
The G650 remains a thin market where individual aircraft and off-market activity can significantly influence the overall picture. Inventory is still limited, but its recent increase comes alongside very light transaction activity, with only one sale recorded since May. The higher DOM among current listings also suggests that buyers are being selective rather than reacting simply to scarcity. For sellers, aircraft condition, maintenance status, pedigree and pricing will remain important differentiators, while buyers should recognize that much of the recent transaction activity has occurred outside the publicly advertised market.
