Today we're breaking down the core market metrics to help owners, buyers, and corporate flight departments make informed decisions in the current environment.Let's start with a look at the current market supply and pricing. There are currently two aircraft actively for sale globally, which represents just 2.4% of the total 84 in operation fleet. For context, both of the aircraft currently listed for sale are attempting to sell a share of the aircraft, and have both been on the market since March of 2025, significantly skewing the days on the market numbers. For those evaluating this inventory, the pricing generally falls in the $12 to $16 million range, depending on the model year. In terms of transactional velocity, we've seen steady movement. Looking back at the historical trends, retail sales have logged seven total transactions over the past 12 months, maintaining a steady rhythm of roughly one sale every other month. This continuous buying activity against an exceptionally tight inventory has successfully maintained a balanced market, giving us a current absorption rate of around four months. In summary, this market remains highly resilient with limited supply. With only 2.4% of the fleet available, this market continues to lean towards a seller's market.

There are 84 Legacy 500s in operation worldwide, so we're dealing with a relatively small data set. A year ago, there were seven aircraft on the market for sale, and now there are only five. So over the past year, inventory has decreased by 29%. This represents 6% of the Legacy 500 fleet currently for sale. Prices are stable and generally fall within the $12 to $16 million range. The days on market have increased by 55% over the past year and reached a peak of around 300 days on market in Q4 of 2025. There have been eight Legacy 500s that sold over the past year. With peak activity occurring last fall and early 2026, likely resulting from carryover year-end deals. Based on recent supply and demand trends, there is currently about 10 months of inventory on the market for sale. In summary, this market is stable and balanced. With 6% of the fleet for sale and approximately 10 months of inventory, this market offers good opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
