Fleet Size & Availability
As of March 18, 2026, there are 3 Citation XLS Gen2 aircraft actively for sale, representing 5.0% of the fleet.
Inventory remains extremely limited, with only 2–5 aircraft available at any given point over the past six months. This persistent supply constraint underscores the relative scarcity of late-model XLS Gen2 aircraft and reflects strong owner retention.
With such thin inventory, buyer competition remains elevated, particularly for well-equipped, low-time aircraft with desirable pedigree and program coverage.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range from $15.295M to $16.5M, positioning the XLS Gen2 firmly at the top of the super-light jet segment and into the lower midsize category on a value basis.
The market shows tight pricing compression, with minimal spread between listings—indicative of a highly informed seller base and consistent buyer expectations.
Average days on market for active listings is 101 days, reflecting efficient absorption driven by limited supply and strong demand for this platform.
Sales Activity (Last 6 Months)
A total of 5 aircraft have sold over the past six months, including 2 off-market transactions, representing 8.3% of the fleet. Sold prices ranged from $15.0M to $16.25M, closely aligning with current ask levels and reinforcing pricing stability.
Transaction activity has been measured but consistent, with 2 sales in October, 1 in December, and 2 in February, with no recorded closed transactions in September, November, or January.
Aircraft that transacted averaged 285 days on market, suggesting that while inventory is limited, deal execution can extend due to buyer diligence, transaction complexity, and selective acquisition criteria at this price point.
Key Takeaways
• Extremely limited inventory, supporting a seller-favorable environment
• Tight pricing bands, reflecting strong market clarity and alignment
• Consistent but low-volume transaction activity
• Efficient listing absorption, though transaction timelines can extend
• Off-market deals represent a meaningful share of activity
Key Insight
The Citation XLS Gen2 market is defined by scarcity and pricing discipline.
With very few aircraft available and consistent demand from both owner-operators and fleet buyers, values remain well supported. However, despite the favorable supply-demand dynamics, transactions at this level require precision alignment between buyer expectations and aircraft specification, which can extend deal timelines.
For sellers, this environment rewards proper positioning and patience, while buyers must be prepared to act decisively when the right aircraft becomes available.
