Fleet Size and Availability
There are 30 Citation CJ4 and Gen2 for sale, including 6 off-market (6.3% of fleet). Supply has tracked in a narrow band, signaling balance between new listings and ongoing absorption.
Market Listings
Asking prices range from $5,300,000–$12,495,000 with 235 average Days on Market. The spread reflects age/spec dispersion; Citation Gen2 and low-time Citation CJ4s command the upper tier, but buyers are scrutinizing value at the top end.
Sales Activity
In six months, 26 sales (2 off-market) closed between $6,100,001–$12,600,000, averaging 172 DOM—notably faster than active inventory. Velocity is strongest for aircraft with windshield service bulletin compliance that did not result in onerous repairs, paint/interior refresh, and cabin connectivity.
Key Takeaways
• Stable supply + strong sales yield a predictable, transaction-friendly market.
• Sold-Days on Market (172) vs. list-Days on Market (235) highlights the payoff of realistic pricing.
• Premium Citation CJ4 Gen2 examples continue to clear with minimal discounting.
• Off-market remains a niche but steady channel for high-pedigree trades.
• Buyers weighing Citation CJ4 vs. smaller midsize alternatives continue to value dispatch reliability and operating economics.
Key Insight
The Citation CJ4/Gen2 sits in a balanced groove: enough inventory to compare, but not enough to weaken pricing. Market-ready aircraft priced to comps are selling on a reliable timetable.
