Market Listings
Current asking prices span $1,300,000–$2,400,000, with 226 average days on market. Sellers with aging paint, interior, or incomplete maintenance records are seeing extended listing periods, while turnkey, upgraded examples attract buyers from piston-turboprop transitions.

Key Takeaways
• Supply tightening modestly after summer peaks.
• Pricing stability supports ongoing buyer confidence.
• Refurbished, avionics-upgraded aircraft command the highest engagement.
• Off-market share small but stable, mainly for repeat buyer networks.
• Days on Market gap between listed and sold (226 vs. 177) signals active, value-based buying.
Key Insight
The Citation CJ1 remains steady and transparent, with clear value parameters and consistent turnover. While appreciation is unlikely, pricing firmness and low volatility highlight the segment’s enduring utility and accessibility.
