 Over the past 12 months, the Citation CJ2+ market has remained relatively active, with available inventory declining approximately 8% year over year.  At the same time, asking values have remained comparatively stable, down only about 1% year over year, which points to a market that continues to find support from active buyer demand. From a transaction standpoint, buyers remain engaged in the segment, although acquisition timelines have become a bit more measured compared to previous years. Days on market have increased approximately 17% year over year, as buyers spend more time comparing aircraft condition, maintenance history, and avionics configuration before making purchasing decisions. Even with the more selective environment, transaction activity remains healthy. There have been 28 retail sales over the past 12 months, with eight transactions recorded so far in 2026. Recent activity has involved aircraft ranging from 2007 through 2012 models, reinforcing continued demand across much of the CJ2+ production range. Looking at supply and demand, the market is currently carrying approximately 10.6 months of inventory, which keeps the CJ2+ in a balanced but competitive market environment. Aircraft with updated avionics, current maintenance, and strong overall presentation continue to attract the most buyer attention. The CJ2+ continues to appeal to owner-operators and light jet buyers because it offers a strong balance of efficiency, capability, and operating practicality. For many owners, the platform represents an aircraft that delivers modern integrated avionics, single-pilot flexibility, and manageable operating economics, in a proven light jet platform. In summary, the citation CJ2+ market remains stable with healthy transaction activity and balanced supply conditions supporting continued buyer interest. Overall, I'd characterize the CJ2+ market as active and assign it an A-demand rating. For owners considering a sale, aircraft preparation, maintenance presentation, and market positioning continue to play an important role in buyer response.

Over the past year, inventory in the Citation CJ2+ market has increased approximately 18%, compared to this time last year. At the same time, pricing has adjusted modestly, with average asking prices down 8% year-over-year.  In terms of transaction activity, CJ2+'s are trading more efficiently than they were a year ago. Days on market have decreased 38% year-over-year reflecting quicker execution for properly positioned aircraft.  Over the past 12 months, there have been 18 retail transactions, with three of them occurring in December. Three additional CJ2+'s have transacted since the beginning of 2026.  The vintages of the aircraft that have sold since the beginning of December range from 2006 to 2011 models. Based on the recent supply and demand trends, there's currently about 11 months of inventory on the market for sale, which reflects a competitive, but still active, selling environment.  In summary, this market remains strong. Supply and demand are aligned. Overall, I'd categorize the CJ2+ market as a balanced market and give it an A demand rating.

Q1 2026 MARKET SNAPSHOT

The CJ2+ brought Williams FJ44-3A engines to the CJ2 platform, delivering a noticeable improvement in performance — faster cruise, better climb, and improved hot-and-high capability — that meaningfully expanded the aircraft's operational envelope. Avionics were updated alongside the engine upgrade, giving the CJ2+ a more current flight deck than earlier CJ2 examples. The combination of the stretched CJ fuselage, upgraded powerplants, and improved systems makes the CJ2+ one of the more well-rounded options in the pre-owned light jet market, particularly for buyers who prioritize performance over cabin size and want a capable single-pilot platform.
