Fleet Size and Availability
There are 23 Citation CJ3+ aircraft for sale, including 6 off-market, representing approximately 7.5% of the active fleet. Inventory has risen steadily through 2025, reaching its highest level of the year. Despite this growth, the market remains balanced as demand for late-model, well-equipped CJ3+ examples continues to underpin values.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range from $7,300,000 to $12,300,000, with active listings averaging 68 days on market. The upper end of the range reflects aircraft with newer paint and interior refurbishments, Wi-Fi connectivity, and full engine program coverage. Well-presented, mid-range aircraft continue to attract attention quickly when priced near recent sales benchmarks.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 17 CJ3+ aircraft sold, including 2 off-market transactions, within a price range of $6,450,001 to $10,500,001. Average time to sale was 78 days, demonstrating healthy turnover despite the gradual rise in available inventory. The modest gap between asking and sold prices signals continued alignment between buyer and seller expectations.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory growth has been measured, suggesting balanced dynamics rather than oversupply.
• The 68-day active listing average underscores strong buyer engagement for well-positioned aircraft.
• Price retention remains strong—sold ranges trail only slightly below ask levels, reflecting durable demand.
• U.S.-based, low-time aircraft on programs continue to lead transaction volume.
• Off-market activity remains meaningful, indicating discreet buyer-seller pairings for premium examples.
Key Insight
The Citation CJ3+ market is entering late 2025 with stable pricing, increasing selection, and sustained absorption. Sellers benefit from a still-active buyer pool motivated by the CJ3+’s efficiency and pedigree, while buyers gain from slightly expanded choice heading into year-end. Market discipline continues to define this segment—clean, program-covered aircraft priced to recent comps are commanding quick results.
