Inventory has risen significantly in the Phenom 100 space, but values remain strong. There are now 40 combined listings between the Phenom 100, 100E, and 100EV markets, the highest level in nearly three years. It’s worth noting that late-model US-based options are still hard to find, even with nearly 10% of the active fleet listed. 2026 is off to a slow start activity-wise with nine Q2 sales. This makes just 17 total on the year, well behind last year’s pace of 28 by this time. What hasn’t cooled off is pricing. Early models are holding steady, but late models have increased over the past three months, as demand has surged for the side facing the 5th seat. With more options to choose from, yet with pricing strong, this market remains balanced for buyers and sellers.
Phenom 300 and 300E inventory continues to decline while values continue to surge. There are only 16 combined listings left in these two markets, down more than 40% compared to a year ago. Just 1.8% of the active fleet is listed now, which i s the lowest level in more than three years. Activity remains strong, with 19 sales taking place during Q2, similar to last quarter. The combined 38 sales YTD are well ahead of the 28 transactions that occurred during the first half of 2025. Strong demand continues to push prices higher, with values increasing another $300k last quarter, up nearly $1mm compared to the start of last year. With very few options and record pricing, now is the best time to sell your Phenom 300 in many years.
After Q1's sharp 7.5% value correction, the CJ2 market held steady in Q2. Values and transactions were both flat quarter over quarter, with 13 units trading in each period, and average inventory eased modestly from 38 to 34 aircraft. Velocity remained essentially unchanged for nearly 8 months. The correction flagged last quarter appears to have paused rather than continued, but the market remains in buyer's territory, and sellers should not read the flat quarter as a recovery just yet.
Transactions in the CJ3 market recovered somewhat in Q2, rising from 10 to 12 after last quarter's 64% pullback, though activity remains well below Q4's 28. Values held flat for the quarter, while average inventory grew from 30 to 35 aircraft. With supply building faster than demand, velocity nearly doubled to roughly 10 months. The market remains balanced with values holding on the seller's side, but the buyer-friendly timing window flagged last quarter has widened rather than closed heading into Q3.
The CJ4's long run of value stability broke in Q2, with pricing slightly dipping after six consecutive flat quarters. Inventory tightened further, falling from 12 to 10, another new low for the segment. Despite the thinner supply, transactions nearly doubled from 6 to 11, and velocity held under 3.6 months. The value dip looks more like it is lagging strong demand than signaling genuine softening, and the CJ4 remains in a seller-leaning market, with buyers still needing to move quickly whenever a compliant aircraft surfaces.
The Citation M2 market tightened sharply in Q2 after two quarters of inventory rebuilding. Average inventory fell from 22 to 14 aircraft, a 36% pullback, while transactions held nearly steady at 11 versus 12 in Q1. Values were unchanged for the quarter, and velocity ticked down slightly to just under 4 months, still comfortably inside the balanced range. With supply now constrained and demand holding firm, the M2 market has shifted out of Q1's buyer lean and back toward balanced territory, with sellers regaining some leverage as inventory options thin out.
