CIRRUS SR SERIES - FOR SALE
INVENTORY
Updated: January 28, 2025 8:45 am
MARKET
OBSERVATION
"Stable" is the word that most accurately describes the trends in the Cirrus pre-owned market. Inventory, as measured by the number of listings for sale, dropped significantly in December to roughly 300. We expected this and believe this level will be new normal. Continuing the theme from last year, the buildup of inventory from early 2022 until late 2023 has given way to a balanced marketplace, so the era of steep price corrections has abated in favor of normal depreciation for most segments. As always, we note the Percentage of Fleet for sale (the blue line) - it seems to be in the healthy range at 4.5%, below the historic peak above 5%.
CIRRUS SR SERIES - NEW LISTINGS
SUPPLY

MARKET
OBSERVATION
The supply of new listings declined each month since summer, though it did tick up slightly in Dec. In Q3, we were concerned that supply had been creeping up and we weren't sure if demand would keep pace. With supply gently rolling over, our worries have been kept at bay. The uptick in Dec is a normal season occurrence, and was less than we expected, so no worries on that front.
CIRRUS SR SERIES - SOLD
DEMAND

MARKET
OBSERVATION
We noted in our observations last summer that demand tends to vary quite a bit, so we didn't want to ring the alarm bell when we saw low single-month demand figures in August and September. Our patience proved wise - look at October and December demand! With 107 units removed from the market in October and 145 removed in December, traditional Q4 demand returned in full force. Phew!! As we note above in the "Inventory" comments, the data is pointing to a new normal for the market and it seems quite stable.
