Challenger 300 Market

Current Market State for the Challenger 300

Challenger 300 inventory has dropped for the second consecutive quarter, and transactions are picking up as we head into the first quarter of 2021. There are currently 25 Challenger 300 aircraft for sale, down from 31 a year ago. After only nine combined sales occurring during the first half of 2020, things turned around, and the second half of the year produced a solid 23 transactions. The 13 sales during Q4 2020 is the most activity we’ve seen since Q4 of 2018. Values couldn’t shake the slow start to the year, with pricing taking a hit during this past quarter. However, as many quality options were picked over towards the end of 2020, look for things to firm up at the start of 2021. With inventory drying up yet attractive pricing, this market remains balanced for buyers and sellers.
