Citation Sovereign+
Market SNAPSHOT
Welcome to your Citation Sovereign+ Market Update for September 2026. Available inventory has fallen from a year ago, leaving buyers with fewer alternatives and sellers with less competition. Average asking prices, however, are down 20%. Not every available aircraft has a published price, so that average offers a limited view. Even so, the pricing trend tempers the advantage of low inventory. There have been 15 retail sales over the past 12 months, including 11 year-to-date. Buyers continue to participate in the market. Meanwhile, current listings average 163 days on market, which is slightly longer than this time one year ago. Aircraft are still changing hands, but the remaining listings are taking time to find buyers, despite the limited selection. Supply stands at 2.4 months based on the trailing sales pace. That reinforces how few alternatives buyers have. For sellers, limited competition is helpful, but alongside softer asking prices and longer listing times, it gives us a more measured picture of the market. Limited inventory remains an advantage for Sovereign+ sellers, giving buyers fewer alternatives to consider, but lower asking prices and longer listing times show that sellers still need to be responsive to the market. Taken together, these trends support my B Market Demand Rating. Sellers benefit from limited availability, while realistic pricing and timing expectations remain important.

The Sovereign+ market has seen a shift in inventory levels, with inventory increasing 100% from a year ago. As supply has increased, average asking prices have declined over the past 12 months, reflecting adjustments within the pre-owned Sovereign Plus market. Despite the increase in available aircraft, Sovereign Plus jets are selling efficiently with days on-market decreasing compared to this time last year. Over the past 12 months, there have been 10 retail sales showing- and continued activity within this segment. Based on the current supply and demand trends, the 3-year, 3-year OEM backlog for new aircraft continues to help support the pre-owned Sovereign Plus market. In summary, this- market remains strong with supply and demand balanced in the line.

Over the past 12 months, the Citation Sovereign+ market has remained active, with available inventory increasing approximately 67% year-over-year. Pricing trends this quarter require a bit more interpretation than usual, as several active aircraft are being marketed without publicly disclosed asking prices. Because of that, automated average asking value data can appear distorted in a fleet this size. Using observed market data and proprietary inventory tracking, Sovereign+ asking values have remained relatively stable overall, with only modest softening year-over-year, down approximately 3% compared to May 2025 averages. From a transaction standpoint, the market continues to perform well. Days on market have decreased approximately 68% year-over-year, suggesting that properly- positioned aircraft continue to attract solid buyer interest. Over the past 12 months, there have been nine retail sales recorded across the Sovereign+ market, with three occurring in 2026, ranging from 2014 to 2017 models. Looking at supply and demand, the market is currently carrying approximately 6.7 months of inventory, reflecting a more balanced environment than we've seen in some other mid-size segments. Buyers remain active, particularly for aircraft with Engine Program Enrollment, Current Maintenance Status, Upgraded Connectivity, and Strong Overall Presentation. The Citation Sovereign+ continues to appeal to operators because of its combination of runway capability, mid-size cabin comfort, and modernized avionics. For many owners and flight departments, the aircraft represents a highly-versatile platform capable of supporting a broad range of business missions while maintaining the operational flexibility that continues to make the platform attractive across a wide range of missions. In summary, the Citation Sovereign+ Market remains active with relatively stable observed asking values and continued buyer activity despite increased inventory levels. Overall, I'd characterize the Sovereign+ market as balanced, and assign it a B Demand Rating. For owners considering a sale, accurate market positioning, maintenance visibility, and overall aircraft presentation continue to play an important role in buyer response.
