Fleet Size and Availability
There are 20 Citation CJ3 aircraft for sale, including 4 off-market listings, representing 4.9% of the active fleet. Inventory has risen modestly from 19 in June to 21 in July but remains well below the February peak of 25 units.
Market Listings
Asking prices range from $3,450,000 to $5,695,000, with active listings averaging 114 days on market. This relatively short DOM for available units suggests healthy turnover for competitively priced listings.
Sales Activity
In the past six months, 21 CJ3s sold (including 1 off-market) with sale prices between $3,200,000 and $5,695,000. Sold aircraft averaged 143 days on market, slightly longer than current listings, indicating that newer entries are being absorbed faster than older stock. July recorded 3 sales, consistent with average monthly activity over the past half-year.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory increased slightly from June to July but remains in a balanced range for both buyers and sellers.
• Six-month sales volume remains robust, averaging over 3 transactions per month.
• Asking and sold price ranges overlap entirely, reflecting strong alignment between seller expectations and market reality.
• Shorter DOM for active listings suggests sellers who price accurately are rewarded with faster sales.
• Market stability is reinforced by consistent sales activity despite modest inventory fluctuations.
Key Insight
The CJ3 market remains balanced: tight supply relative to early-year levels, consistent sales, and tight pricing spreads favor disciplined sellers while requiring buyers to act decisively on well-equipped aircraft.
