Citation CJ1+ Market Update – April 2025
Inventory growth and stable pricing have created a sweet spot for buyers, but March’s pickup in sales shows that demand is responsive when the right aircraft hits the market.
Fleet Size and Availability
There are 12 Citation CJ1+ aircraft for sale, including 2 off-market listings, which accounts for 12.1% of the fleet — the highest percentage across the CJ family. Inventory has steadily increased since January, when just 8 aircraft were available, rising to 12 by March and holding at that level into April.
Market Listings
The asking price range currently spans $1,895,000 to $3,000,000. The average days on market is 130, which reflects a healthy balance between available supply and active demand.
Sales Activity
Over the past six months, 8 CJ1+ aircraft have sold, including 3 off-market transactions. The sold price range was $1,850,001 to $2,700,000, and the average days on market for sold aircraft was 169. After a quiet February (0 sales), the market rebounded in March with 2 completed transactions.
Key Takeaways
