• Sales remain sluggish, averaging just one transaction per month in the past half-year.
• Pricing for sold aircraft remains close to the lower half of the asking range, showing buyers are price sensitive.
• The significant gap between days on market for active versus sold listings suggests sellers must reassess pricing and presentation.
• Opportunities may exist for motivated buyers to negotiate as unsold inventory builds.
Key Insight
After steady inventory gains and low turnover, the Citation CJ2+ market is shifting in favor of buyers. Well-prepared and competitively priced listings have a clear advantage, but sellers should be realistic and flexible to secure a transaction in the current environment.
