market UPDATE
This market is tight, with the inventory levels declining 13% from one year ago. Pricing has also adjusted approximately 13% compared to this time last year. In terms of transaction activity, Encores continue to trade steadily. Days on market have decreased slightly, down roughly 1% year over year. There have been 19 retail sales over the past 12 months, with three of them occurring in December. Two additional Encores have transacted since the beginning of 2026. The vintages of the aircraft that have sold since the beginning of December range from 2001 to 2006 models. Based on the recent supply and demand trends, the market is only carrying approximately 4.7 months of inventory, reflecting a relatively tight supply environment. In summary, this remains a strong market. Inventory levels are low relative to demand. Overall, I categorize the Encore market as a seller's market and give it a B-demand rating.
