Caravan 208 Market Summary:

Availability of the short 208 (affectionately known as the baby Caravan) although up from January, remains low around 5% of the fleet, and corresponding time on market is also continuing to decrease. Surprisingly, we are seeing asking prices continue to trend downward. Timing is good for owners considering selling, with current inventory so low.

Caravan 208B Grand Caravan Market Summary:

The availability of the Grand Caravan 208B, the workhorse of the Cessna brand, trended upward from a low of 2.6% of fleet on the market, in April 2020, to a peak of 4.1%. With many of these aircraft in commercial use such as sight-seeing, skydiving, etc, trends related to availability and pricing are both beginning to stabilize as the world continues to recover from the impact of COVID-19. The current playing field is now more balanced for buyers and sellers.

Caravan 208B EX Market Summary:

Late model Grand Caravans, the “EX” with the large 867SHP PT6A-140 engine are known for one of the best residual values of all turbine powered aircraft. While inventories of pre-owned 208B EX aircraft have nearly doubled over the past six months, price has remained stable. This phenomena consistently places new-from-factory aircraft as a serious consideration for buyers, and sellers should be aware that the residual value of their aircraft puts them in competition with the OEM in the marketplace.
