The Citation M2 market remains active, but the latest data suggests a shift from tightening conditions toward a more balanced environment. Inventory over the first two weeks of May has edged higher after several months of contraction, while six-month sales activity remains strong and days on market for sold aircraft continues to outperform active listings.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 27 Citation M2 aircraft for sale, including 10 off-market opportunities, representing 8.8% of the fleet.
Availability remains below the late-2025 peak but has increased slightly from April, when 25 aircraft were for sale. This suggests the market is no longer tightening at the same pace, with new supply beginning to offset ongoing absorption.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range from $3,395,000 to $4,600,000, with active listings averaging 185 days on market.
Pricing remains firm at the lower end, with the floor holding near $3.4M. However, the upper end of asking pricing has compressed from prior months, suggesting buyers are applying more discipline and sellers are becoming more realistic as inventory rebuilds modestly.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 35 Citation M2 aircraft have sold, including 6 off-market transactions, representing 11.4% of the fleet. Sold prices ranged from $2,000,000 to $4,950,000.
Sales volume remains healthy, with monthly closings stabilizing at 5 aircraft in both March and April after the February dip. Sold aircraft averaged 102 days on market, materially faster than the current listing average of 185 days. This gap shows that well-positioned aircraft are still moving efficiently, while less competitive listings are taking longer to clear.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory has increased slightly, signaling a shift toward balance
• Asking prices remain firm, but the upper end has moderated
• Six-month transaction volume remains strong at 11.4% of the fleet
• Sold aircraft are moving significantly faster than active listings
• Off-market activity remains meaningful, though less dominant than prior months
Key Insight
The Citation M2 market remains liquid, but it is becoming more selective. Supply is no longer contracting, and buyers have slightly more leverage than they did earlier in the year. Strong aircraft with clean pedigree, engine program coverage, and realistic pricing continue to transact quickly, while aspirational listings are beginning to show longer exposure.
