Fleet Size and Availability
There are 11 Citation XLS aircraft for sale (1 off-market), representing 3.4% of the active fleet. Inventory levels have stabilized after a notable drop earlier this spring, indicating a potential market reset.
Market Listings
Asking prices currently range from $3,995,000 to $7,300,000. The average days on market for active listings has climbed to 177 days, suggesting sellers are facing increased time-to-sale.
Sales Activity
Over the last six months, 17 aircraft have sold, with 8 of those transactions occurring off-market. The sold price range was $3,900,000 to $6,250,001, and aircraft that closed averaged 131 days on market.
Key Takeaways
- Strong sales volume with consistent absorption (nearly 3 sales per month).
- Eight off-market transactions signal high buyer demand for well-positioned aircraft.
- Days on market for listed aircraft continue to rise, hinting at a gap in pricing vs. demand.
- Supply has normalized following a February peak of 15 listings.
Key Insight
With 17 sales and steady demand, the Citation XLS is one of the most active midsize markets in Q2. However, the rising days on market for active listings suggest buyers are getting pickier—aircraft priced above recent comps or needing upgrades may see slower movement unless repriced or repositioned.
