Over the past 12 months, the Citation Encore market has increased modestly, with available inventory increasing approximately 30% compared to this time last year.  At the same time, asking values have remained relatively stable, declining only 1% year-over-year. From a transaction standpoint, Encores continue to trade steadily.  Days on market have decreased meaningfully year-over-year, which suggests that well-maintained aircraft are still finding buyers in a reasonable time frame. Over the past 12 months, there have been 19 retail sales, with an additional 4 transactions already recorded since the beginning of 2026. Recent sales activity has primarily involved 2001 through 2004 model-year aircraft. Aircraft equipped with avionics upgrades and refreshed color palettes continue transacting acting more quickly than less updated examples. Looking at supply and demand, the market is currently carrying approximately 9.8 months of inventory, which keeps the Encore in a relatively balanced market environment overall. While buyers remain selective, aircraft with current maintenance pedigree, updated avionics, and overall modern presentation stand out in the market. The Citation Encore continues to appeal to buyers who value useful payload capability, operational flexibility, and the well-established Citation support network. In summary, the Citation Encore market remains active with limited inventory and steady transaction activity continuing into 2026. Overall, I'd characterize the Encore market as competitive and assign it an A demand rating. For owners considering a sale, preparation, timing, and market positioning can have a meaningful impact on overall results.
