Jet Inventory Increases Exerting Pressure on Values, Pushing Asking Trends Downward

LINCOLN, Neb., July 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sandhills Global market reports offer in-depth analysis of inventory and value trends for used jets, piston single aircraft, turboprop aircraft, and Robinson piston helicopters in Sandhills marketplaces. The newest reports show asking values remaining steady for used piston single and turboprop aircraft while price decreases continue for pre-owned jets.

"Aircraft continue to sell," says Controller Department Manager Brant Washburn, "but inventory increases are putting pressure on selling prices. This is especially true for jets, where we're seeing a downward trend with values down both month over month and year over year."

Sandhills' aviation products include Controller, Controller EMEA, Executive Controller, Charter Hub, Aviation Trader, Aircraft Cost Calculator, and AircraftEvaluator. AircraftEvaluator is Sandhills' proprietary asset valuation tool for all types of aircraft, built using the same technology behind FleetEvaluator. Widely used and trusted across equipment, truck, and trailer industries, FleetEvaluator identifies asset values with unparalleled accuracy.

The key metric used in all of Sandhills' market reports is the Sandhills Equipment Value Index (EVI). Buyers and sellers can use the information in the Sandhills EVI to monitor equipment markets and maximize returns on acquisition, liquidation, and related business decisions. The Sandhills EVI data include equipment available in auction and retail markets, as well as model-year equipment actively in use.
