Data as of April 13, 2026
The Citation CJ4 Gen2 market remains tight and relatively young, with limited inventory and a still-developing resale environment. However, recent weeks suggest the earliest signs of a shift toward more balanced conditions.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 6 aircraft for sale (3 off-market), representing 4.1% of the fleet.
Inventory remains constrained, though notably, half of the available aircraft are being transacted off-market, reinforcing the importance of network-driven access in this segment. Over the past several weeks, we have begun to see incremental increases in available inventory, albeit from a low base.
Market Listings
The current asking price range is $11,200,000 to $12,395,000.
Pricing remains firm and tightly clustered, reflecting the relative uniformity of the fleet and the recency of deliveries. Aircraft with favorable specifications, warranty coverage, and immediate availability continue to command premium positioning, with minimal discounting observed in publicly marketed transactions.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 9 aircraft have sold (3 off-market), with a sold price range of $10,000,000 to $13,500,000.
Transaction volume remains measured but consistent, with an average of 91 days on market, indicating efficient absorption when properly positioned. The variability in reported sold pricing reflects differences in delivery timing, specification, and individual transaction dynamics rather than broad market dispersion.
In the past two weeks, we have observed slightly softer buyer urgency alongside modest increases in available inventory, a dynamic that appears consistent across multiple jet segments. While still subtle in the CJ4 Gen2 market, this shift suggests early-stage normalization from peak demand conditions.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory remains tight but gradually increasing
• Off-market activity continues to play a significant role in transactions
• Pricing is stable with limited dispersion
• Days on market remain efficient for well-positioned aircraft
• Buyer urgency is beginning to moderate, though still relatively strong
Key Insight
The CJ4 Gen2 market continues to benefit from limited supply and strong baseline demand, but early indicators point toward a more balanced environment ahead. As additional aircraft enter the secondary market and buyer behavior becomes more measured, execution will increasingly favor sellers who price and position their aircraft with precision rather than relying solely on scarcity.
