Citation CJ1+
Market SNAPSHOT
Over the past 12 months, inventory in the Citation CJ1+ market has remained relatively tight, with available inventory down to declining by 30% compared to a year ago. Despite fewer aircraft being offered for sale, average asking prices have softened by approximately 7%, reflecting a market where buyers continue to be disciplined and value-focused. Rather than chasing limited inventory, today's buyers are taking the time to compare aircraft carefully, placing greater emphasis on overall condition, maintenance pedigree, and long-term ownership value. The same trend is reflected in transaction activity. Days on market have increased 32% over the past year, while the market has recorded 12 retail sales during the same period, averaging about 1 aircraft sold per month. Although activity has moderated compared to earlier periods, it remains consistent with a smaller, specialized segment where buyers are willing to wait for the right aircraft, rather than compromise on quality or configuration. Looking at supply and demand, the market is currently carrying approximately 7.6 months of available inventory, indicating that quality aircraft remain relatively limited despite the more measured pace of transactions. For the CJ1+, buyers continue to place significant value on maintenance history, engine program participation, desirable specifications, and overall aircraft condition. While the ProLine 21 avionics suite provides a strong foundation across the fleet, aircraft with well-documented maintenance histories, desirable upgrades, and attractive specifications continue to generate the strongest buyer interest. In summary, the Citation CJ1+ market remains healthy, but increasingly selective. Limited inventory continues to support market stability, while disciplined buyers are rewarding aircraft that present well and offer strong long-term value. Based on the current market fundamentals, I would assign the Citation CJ1+ a B market demand rating.

The underlying demand is what's sustaining transaction activity. What we're seeing now is straightforward. Well-positioned aircraft continue to transact and buyers are ready to move when the aircraft checks the right boxes.
