Fleet Size and Availability
There are 17 Citation CJ2+ aircraft for sale, including 4 off-market listings, representing 7.7% of the active fleet. Inventory has rebounded slightly from summer lows, but overall availability remains moderate and well below the spring peak.
Market Listings
Asking prices range from $3,650,000 to $4,950,000, with listed aircraft averaging 239 days on market. Days on market have lengthened modestly, as buyers compare a wider range of CJ2+ and early CJ3 options in similar price bands.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 9 aircraft have sold, including 1 off-market transaction, with sale prices ranging from $3,500,001 to $4,200,000. Sold aircraft averaged 189 days on market, indicating that competitively priced listings continue to move efficiently.
Key Takeaways
- Inventory levels have stabilized near their six-month average following midyear fluctuations.
- Transaction activity has softened slightly, with fewer closings over the summer months.
- Pricing has remained firm, supported by steady demand for later-model CJ2+ aircraft with TAP Blue or equivalent coverage.
- Buyers continue to weigh CJ2+ options against entry-level CJ3 inventory, limiting upward price momentum.
- Off-market opportunities persist but represent a smaller share of total transactions compared to earlier in the year.
Key Insight
The CJ2+ market has entered a more balanced phase as fall begins, with pricing stability supported by limited supply and selective demand. Aircraft with desirable pedigrees and maintenance coverage continue to attract attention, while sellers of higher-time or unprogrammed aircraft face longer marketing periods.
