Over the past 12 months, inventory in the Citation CJ2 market has continued to tighten, with available aircraft down approximately 8% compared to this time last year.  At the same time, pricing has remained relatively stable, with asking values down only about 1% over the past year. Overall, the market continues to move, especially for clean, well-presented aircraft. On the transaction side, CJ2s continue to trade consistently, although buyers are taking a little more time before making decisions. Days on market have increased roughly 17% year-over-year, reflecting a market where buyers are comparing aircraft more carefully. Even so, transaction activity has remained healthy, with 28 retail sales over the past 12 months. 13 of those sales were recorded in 2026 so far. Recent transactions have spanned all model years. Looking at supply and demand, the market is currently carrying approximately 10.6 months of inventory, which keeps the CJ2 in a relatively balanced market environment. In conditions like these, aircraft positioning becomes increasingly important. Right now, buyers are paying very close attention to maintenance history, upgraded avionics, and overall aircraft presentation. The CJ2 continues to hold a strong reputation in the owner-flown and light-jet market, because it delivers the combination buyers are still looking for today. Efficiency, reliability, cabin comfort, and proven operating economics. It's the same reason many current owners chose the platform in the first place, and those qualities continue to resonate with the next group of buyers entering the market. In summary, the Citation CJ2 market remains active, with healthy transaction volume and modestly tightening inventory levels. While buyers are more disciplined than they were several years ago, well-cared-for aircraft continue to stand out in the market. Overall, I'd characterize the CJ2 market as balanced, and assign it a BB demand rating. For owners considering a sale, preparation, timing, and market positioning can have a meaningful impact on overall results.
