Data as of April 13, 2026
The Citation Encore+ market is experiencing early-stage softening, with elevated inventory and moderating demand creating a more competitive environment.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 7 aircraft for sale, representing 10.9% of the fleet.
While the total number of aircraft is small, the percentage of fleet for sale is meaningfully elevated, signaling that supply is beginning to outpace near-term demand. Recent weeks have seen incremental increases in available inventory.
Market Listings
The current asking price range is $3,695,000 to $4,800,000.
Pricing remains relatively tight, with variation driven primarily by aircraft pedigree, total time, engine maintenance programs or engine time remaining, and overall ownership history. With no meaningful avionics differentiation across the fleet, buyers are focusing heavily on condition and engine time remaining before major inspections.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 10 aircraft have sold (5 off-market), with a sold price range of $3,500,000 to $4,450,000.
Transaction activity has been steady but measured, with an average of 242 days on market, indicating longer marketing cycles and more deliberate buyer decision-making. Monthly absorption has been consistent, though not aggressive.
In the past two weeks, we have observed more aircraft coming to market and fewer buyers actively engaging, contributing to longer timelines and increased negotiation sensitivity.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory is elevated at over 10% of the fleet
• Pricing is driven by pedigree, maintenance, and program enrollment—not configuration
• Days on market remain extended
• Off-market transactions remain meaningful
• Buyer urgency has softened in recent weeks
Key Insight
The Encore+ market is transitioning toward a buyer-influenced environment, where execution and positioning matter more than specification differences. As supply builds, sellers will need to rely on pricing discipline and aircraft quality to achieve timely transactions.
