Data as of April 13, 2026
The Gulfstream GIV-SP market remains active but highly stratified, with meaningful transaction volume supported by off-market activity, while publicly listed inventory continues to face extended selling timelines. This is a market where presentation, maintenance positioning, and pricing discipline directly determine outcomes.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are currently 26 aircraft for sale, representing 9.0% of the fleet.
Inventory levels have come down from late-2025 peaks but remain elevated enough to create buyer leverage. Notably, 12 of the 35 aircraft sold in the past six months traded off-market, reinforcing the importance of relationship-driven access, particularly for higher-quality aircraft that never fully hit the open market.
Market Listings
Current asking prices range widely from $2.25M to $6.5M, while recent transactions have closed between $3.5M and $6.8M.
This inverted spread—where closed prices cluster toward the upper half of the asking range—signals a clear dynamic:
• Lower-tier aircraft are anchoring the bottom of the ask range but not clearing efficiently
• Well-maintained, better-pedigreed aircraft are trading at strong levels, often with competitive interest
The result is a wide valuation dispersion tied directly to condition and forward maintenance exposure.Â
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 35 aircraft have sold, representing 12.2% of the fleet—a strong turnover rate for this segment.
However, average days on market tell a different story:
• 256 days for active listings
• 259 days for completed sales
This alignment suggests a normalized but extended sales cycle, where transactions are happening—but require patience, proper positioning, and often targeted buyer identification rather than passive listing exposure.
Monthly volume peaked in December and tapered into early 2026, consistent with broader seasonal patterns rather than a demand drop-off.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory remains elevated but moving, particularly off-market
• Market is clearly segmented between top-tier and deferred-maintenance aircraft
• Wide pricing dispersion reflects condition, not inconsistency
• Days on market indicate a steady but deliberate transaction pace
• Off-market activity continues to play a significant role in liquidity
Key Insight
The GIV-SP market is not constrained by lack of demand—it is constrained by alignment between aircraft quality and buyer expectations. Capital is available for the right aircraft, but buyers are disciplined and forward-looking. Sellers who proactively address maintenance exposure and position their aircraft accordingly are achieving results, while others remain part of the visible—but largely inactive—inventory pool.
