Citation CJ2+ Market Summary for September 2025
Fleet Size and Availability
There are 18 CJ2+ aircraft for sale, including 5 off-market listings, representing 8.1% of the active fleet. Inventory has recovered from July’s dip, trending sideways overall after a mid-summer peak.
Market Listings
Asking prices range from $3,800,000–$4,950,000, with active listings averaging 233 days on market. Longer DOM versus peers suggests buyers remain selective and value well-documented maintenance and avionics.
Sales Activity
Over the last six months, 8 aircraft sold (including 2 off-market) between $3,600,000–$4,100,001, averaging 200 days on market. Monthly closings peaked in June and cooled through August, indicating a pause rather than a reset.
Key Takeaways
• For-sale counts moved up from July and August lows, but remain within the year’s normal band.
• Sales cadence has eased since June’s spike; August posted zero public sales.
• Pricing bands for sold vs. ask remain tight, implying firm buyer/seller price discovery.
• Buyers have more time to evaluate; sellers gain leverage with fresh inspections and clean logs.
• Expect quicker movement for aircraft with NextGen/WAAS and engine program coverage.
Key Insight
The CJ2+ market is holding a balanced posture: modestly higher inventory, slower closings, and narrow price spreads. Listings that lean into turnkey presentation should still transact efficiently even as buyers take a more deliberate pace.
