Data as of April 13, 2026
The Citation CJ2+ market remains fundamentally stable, but recent activity suggests the early stages of a shift toward increased supply and more selective buyer behavior, particularly over the past few weeks.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 19 aircraft for sale (2 off-market), representing 8.6% of the fleet.
Inventory levels are moderate, but we are beginning to see additional aircraft entering the market, subtly increasing competition. This is a notable change from the tighter conditions seen earlier in the cycle.
Market Listings
The current asking price range is $3,250,000 to $4,750,000.
Pricing continues to reflect a clear premium for upgraded aircraft, particularly those with strong maintenance pedigree, updated cosmetics and TAP Blue program enrollment. Legacy-equipped aircraft are increasingly required to price more aggressively to remain competitive.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 12 aircraft have sold (2 off-market), with a sold price range of $3,450,000 to $4,800,000.
Sales activity has been consistent but measured, with monthly closings showing variability rather than acceleration. Average days on market for sold aircraft is 136 days, indicating that well-positioned aircraft continue to transact efficiently, though not with the urgency seen in stronger seller markets.
In the past two weeks, we have observed a slight cooling in buyer activity, with fewer active pursuits and longer decision timelines. This appears to correlate with increased geopolitical uncertainty, which is causing some buyers to pause or reassess acquisition timing.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory is gradually increasing, adding competitive pressure
• Pricing remains highly dependent on avionics and pedigree
• Sales activity is steady but not accelerating
• Buyer urgency is softening, with longer evaluation periods
• Market is shifting toward a more balanced, selective environment
Key Insight
The CJ2+ market is entering a phase where quality differentiation is becoming more pronounced. Aircraft with strong pedigree, upgraded avionics, and turnkey readiness continue to command attention, while less competitive listings are facing longer market times. As supply builds and buyers become more deliberate, strategic pricing and positioning are becoming critical to maintaining momentum and achieving optimal outcomes.
