Citation CJ Market Summary for July 2025
Fleet Size and Availability
There are 33 Citation CJ aircraft for sale, including 3 off-market, representing 9.9% of the fleet — up from last month, continuing the steady increase seen over the past six months.
Market Listings
Asking prices currently range from $1,000,000 to $2,195,000. Average days on market for listed aircraft are 195 days, which is shorter than the average for sold units, pointing to some longer-sitting listings beginning to move.

Over the past six months, 19 Citation CJs sold, including 10 off-market transactions. The sold price range was $1,225,000 to $1,725,000, with an average of 236 days on market, highlighting that well-positioned aircraft continue to transact despite the inventory build.
Key Takeaways
• Inventory has steadily increased month-over-month, reaching the highest level in six months at 33 units.
• Sales pace has softened slightly, with only 1 aircraft sold each in May and June, compared to stronger activity earlier this spring.
• Price spread between asking and sold values remains tight, indicating buyers are still value-conscious.
• Average days on market for sold aircraft exceed those still for sale, suggesting some older listings are finally moving with realistic pricing.
• Sellers should be proactive about condition, pricing, and presentation as inventory levels rise.
Key Insight
While the Citation CJ market is showing higher inventory levels, motivated sellers who position their aircraft competitively continue to close deals — a disciplined approach is essential to avoid extended days on market.
