Q2 2026 MARKET SNAPSHOT
The G500 continues to stand out as one of the most desirable aircraft in the large cabin segment, driven by its performance, technology, and a relatively young fleet. As of April 2026, there are 182 aircraft in operation, with just 9 currently offered for sale. That represents approximately 4.9% of the total fleet, placing the aircraft firmly in a seller's market. In addition, there are three aircraft with deals pending, which means a meaningful portion of the current inventory is already in motion. Now, looking at the inventory and pricing over the past 12 months, the market has remained disciplined. Supply has stayed within a narrow range, with no meaningful change in available aircraft. That consistency continues to support pricing, and pre-owned G500s have been trading in the mid-30s to low-40s range, depending on the model year. The average asking price is up roughly 3% year-over-year. This reflects a stable pricing environment supported by limited supply and strong product demand. Transaction volume has been lighter to start in 2026. In the first quarter, only one pre-owned G500 transaction was recorded, compared to five during the same period in 2025. However, days-on-market provides important context. Average days-on-market is down 47% year-over-year, indicating that aircraft are selling more efficiently with you. And are properly positioned. And over the last 12 months, there have been 46 retail sales, with a large percentage of those being new aircraft. When we look at supply and demand together, the market continues to favor sellers, with a healthy absorption rate of six months. So, in summary, the G500 market is strong. Supply remains limited. Pricing has appreciated. Year-over-year, and the retail transaction activity is healthy. OEM backlog continues to help prop up pre-owned G500 values and reinforces the aircraft's position in the large cabin segment. The backlog across the entire Gulfstream product line continues to influence the pre-owned market, as buyers facing extended delivery positions are turning to available aircraft. The result is sustained demand pressure with constrained supply, which creates a favorable dynamic for current owners. Overall, we rate the current G500 market demand at an A.

Let's begin with the overall market summary. The G500 remains one of the most desirable aircraft in the large cabin segment. Its combination of range, advanced flight controls, cabin technology, and efficiency continues to drive strong buyer interest. There are currently 175 aircraft in operation, with just eight aircraft available for sale. That represents 4.5% of the total fleet, and of those eight, six are on exclusive listings, which tells us that most sellers are taking a disciplined, structured approach to bringing their aircraft to the market. At under 5% of availability, this is a low supply and clearly supportive of prices. and stability. Looking at the past 12 months, the inventory levels have remained tight and consistent. We've not seen any meaningful surge in listings, and supply continues to stay well within historical norms for a next generation large cabin aircraft. Pre-owned asking prices are up approximately 10% compared to March of 2025. That is meaningful appreciation in a pre-owned segment and reflects continued demand for late-model, low-time aircraft. Limited availability combined with OEM delivery backlog is helping sustain upward pricing pressure. Over the past 12 months, the time to sell has dropped by over 65%. Over the past year, we have seen a decline in 43 retail sales, 28 of which were new aircraft deliveries. That level of transactional activity is significant for a fleet of this size and demonstrates strong absorption. Aircraft that are properly priced and well-represented continue to transact efficiently. When we analyze supply versus demand, the G500 market is firmly positioned in seller territory. Inventory remains limited relative to transaction volume, and the current 5.6-month absorption rate supports continued pricing strength. In summary, the G500 market is strong, supply remains limited, pricing has appreciated year-over-year, and the retail transaction activity is very healthy. OEM backlog continues to help prop up pre-owned G500 values and reinforces the aircraft's position in the large cabin segment. The backlog across the entire Gulfstream product line continues to influence the pre-owned market, as buyers facing extended delivery positions are turning to available aircraft today. The result is sustained demand pressure with constrained supply, which creates a favorable dynamic for current owners.
