Fleet Size and Availability
There are 24 Citation CJ3+ aircraft for sale, including 7 off-market listings, representing 7.8% of the active fleet. Inventory has climbed steadily since early summer (May: 12 → Sep: 24), reaching its highest level of 2025 as more owners list aircraft ahead of year-end.
Market Listings
Asking prices range from $7,395,000 to $12,300,000, with aircraft averaging 55 days on market. The relatively short days-on-market metric suggests that competitively priced listings—particularly those in the $8–10M range—are attracting strong interest.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 15 aircraft have sold, including 2 off-market transactions, with sale prices ranging from $6,450,001 to $10,500,001. Sold aircraft averaged 79 days on market, reflecting brisk movement among turnkey and late-model aircraft.
Key Takeaways
- Inventory expansion is giving buyers more choice, but demand remains steady for high-spec and U.S.-based aircraft.
- Pricing has held within a tight range for much of 2025, reflecting equilibrium between motivated sellers and active buyers.
- Transaction pace continues to accelerate, with sales increasing in both August and September.
- Off-market listings remain a meaningful contributor to overall transaction flow, particularly for premium aircraft.
- Aircraft priced above $11M are seeing slower absorption, as buyers gravitate toward mid-range opportunities.
Key Insight
The CJ3+ market remains among the most active in the light jet segment, combining stable pricing with expanding availability. As year-end activity accelerates, market conditions favor buyers ready to act quickly on competitively priced aircraft with strong pedigree and full coverage programs.
