Market SNAPSHOT
Over the next couple of minutes, we'll look at where the Gulfstream G-IV pricing, inventory, and days on market stand today, and what those numbers mean if you own one or are considering buying one. Four fewer Gulfstream G-IV's are available than a year ago, bringing public inventory down 14 aircraft. At the same time, average asking prices have risen approximately 29%, to $3.8 million. That combination may appear favorable for sellers, but asking prices reflect seller expectations, not necessarily completed transaction values. The rest of the data shows buyers are still evaluating these aircraft carefully. That discipline is evident in the time it takes to complete a sale. Average days on market have increased 75%, to 470 days, even as inventory has tightened. 18 retail sales were recorded over the 12 months, averaging about one and a half per month. Five have taken place so far in 2026, spanning 1988 through 1991 model year aircraft. Buyers are still active, but they are taking their time and becoming more particular about which airplanes justify the investment. The market is currently carrying approximately 9.3 months of supply. That gives buyers enough selection to compare aircraft carefully, even with fewer G-IV's publicly available. Those comparisons extend well beyond total time and cosmetics. Engine coverage can materially change a buyer's view of future maintenance exposure. In the cockpit, upgrades to PlaneDeck or Primus Elite stand apart from older configurations. FANS, WAAS, LPV connectivity, and the status of major inspections can also affect an aircraft's position in the market. Some buyers want a turnkey airplane. Others will accept upcoming investment when the price reflects it. Overall, tighter inventory has given sellers more confidence in their asking prices, but it has not created urgency among buyers. Longer marketing times and 9.3 months of supply show that demand for demand remains selective and aircraft-specific. That is the takeaway from today's market. Scarcity alone does not determine marketability. Maintenance exposure, engine coverage, avionics, and the investment required after closing continue to separate one G-IV from another.

Q2 2026 MARKET SNAPSHOT

Over the past 12 months, the Gulfstream G-IV market has remained relatively constrained from an inventory standpoint, with available aircraft levels being remaining largely stable year-over-year. At the same time, pricing has remained notably strong, with average asking values increasing approximately 24% over the past year. This reflects ongoing buyer interest in large cabin aircraft, offering proven operational capability and global mission flexibility. From a transaction standpoint, buyer activity remains steady, although the pace and timing of transactions has begun to moderate. Days on market have increased approximately 36% year-over-year, reflecting a more deliberate acquisition environment as buyers place greater emphasis on operating economics, modernization planning, and long-term maintenance exposure. Even within a more cautious acquisition environment, transaction activity continues across the segment. There have been 21 retail sales over the past 12 months, three of which have occurred so far in 2026, involving 1988 through 1992 model-year aircraft. Looking at supply and demand, the market is carrying roughly 7.8 months of inventory, which continues to support relatively active market conditions within the legacy large cabin segment. While inventory remains limited, buyers are placing increasing emphasis on aircraft quality, long-term supportability, and long-term operating considerations when evaluating acquisition opportunities. While buyers remain active across the segment, aircraft with clear maintenance history, thoughtful upgrades, and strong operational pedigree generate the most efficient market response. The Gulfstream G-IV continues to demonstrate the long-term strength and relevance of the Gulfstream platform. Even in a more selective acquisition environment, the aircraft continues to attract operators who value cabin utility, mission flexibility, global support infrastructure, and proven operational capability. In summary, the Gulfstream G-IV market remains active. Limited inventory continues to support pricing. I'd assign it a B demand rating. For owners considering a sale, aircraft presentation, modernization strategy, and maintenance positioning continue to play an outsized role in overall buyer response and sale execution.
