The sold price range was $1,700,000 to $2,800,000, and average days on market for sold aircraft is 152, suggesting movement is improving.

Key Takeaways
- Inventory climbed through spring and appears to be leveling off in early summer.
- Strong uptick in May sales follows two months of tepid activity.
- Sold price range remains comfortably within the lower to mid range of active asking prices.
- Fewer high-time or distressed aircraft listed compared to early 2024.
Key Insight
The CJ1+ market shows renewed momentum in May after a soft patch in March and April. With 4 retail sales completed and modest asking prices holding, this rebound suggests buyers are re-engaging—but only for competitively priced aircraft. Sellers with well-maintained, low-time CJ1+ jets should act decisively while this window of renewed activity remains open.
