Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 31 Citation CJ aircraft for sale, including 3 off-market, representing approximately 9.3% of the active fleet. Availability has remained relatively stable over the past several months, with inventory levels broadly consistent with late-2025 norms.
Market Listings
Asking prices range from $1,225,000 to $2,400,000, with an average 256 Days on Market (DOM). The pricing band reflects wide variation in avionics configuration, engine program status, and overall aircraft condition. Aircraft positioned toward the upper end of the price range typically feature upgraded avionics and engine program coverage, while lower-priced examples often reflect aircraft needing refurbishment or with off-program engines.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 21 Citation CJs have sold (8 off-market), transacting between $700,000 and approximately $1,850,000, with an average 149 Days on Market. Sold velocity meaningfully outpaces current listing days on market, reinforcing that correctly priced aircraft continue to transact despite a broad inventory set.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory levels remain steady, supporting a balanced buyer–seller environment.
• Sold DOM is materially lower than listing DOM, highlighting execution over demand issues.
• Buyers remain highly sensitive to avionics capability and engine program status.
• Off-market transactions continue to influence pricing benchmarks.
• Well-presented aircraft with realistic pricing clear faster than headline DOM suggests.
Key Insight
The Citation CJ market remains functional and execution-driven: sellers who align pricing with the market transact efficiently, while buyers retain leverage on aircraft that need work or have damage history.
