Market Report

There are 313 XLS+ aircraft currently in operation. Today, 16 aircraft are listed for sale, representing 5.1% of the total fleet.  That represents a balanced inventory level, and hedges against large pre-owned price fluctuations. Looking at the last 12 months, inventory has trended lower, and remains controlled with inventory dropping 24% since March 2025.  On the pricing side, the average pre-owned asking price is down 18% compared to March of 2025. The takeaway is straightforward: the market is not oversupplied, and suggests that the later model aircraft with lower time have been quick to sell, leaving the older, higher time aircraft to remain on the market with lower price points.  The current average days on market is at 168, down 5% over the PAST 12 months. The XLS Plus transaction pace has been steady over the past year, with 47 total retail sales, averaging 3.9 sales per month. That level of retail activity confirms the XLS+ continues to transact with proper representation and pricing.  Looking at supply versus demand, the current absorption rate is 5.1 months, based on the last 12 months of preowned sales.  In practical terms, that represents a healthy absorption profile. It supports a market that remains balanced to slightly seller-leaning. The OEM backlog continues to bolster preowned pricing across the segment. Inventory levels and transaction volume are balanced. Overall, the current market still favors sellers. The XLS Plus market demand is rated as an A.
