Inventory has moderated from recent highs and now sits closer to levels observed earlier in 2025. While availability remains elevated, the pullback suggests improving balance as sales continue to absorb supply.
Market Listings
Asking prices currently range from $2,400,000 to $6,599,000, reflecting meaningful dispersion driven by vintage, total time, engine program enrollment, and specification differences between early M2s and later Gen2 aircraft.

Well-spec’d Gen2 aircraft and lower-time M2s remain the most competitive offerings.

Key Takeaways
• Inventory has declined modestly from recent highs, easing some competitive pressure among sellers.
