    Seller's Market Settles in as Prices Increase and Buyers and Sellers Expectations for Price Come Tog see more

    NAFA member, Tony Kioussis, president of Asset Insight, forecasts prices to continue to increase through first quarter 2019.

    January 22, 2019 – According to Asset Insight’s Year End 2018 Market Report (AI2 Market Report), demand for late model turboprops and large jets continued to increase in the fourth quarter of 2018 and helped drive a continued seller’s market with higher average selling prices.Excellent quality “for sale” aircraft are expected to drive prices up further in Q1 2019 as buyers’ and sellers’ expectations continue to converge on selling price.

    The 4Q 2018 AI2 Market Report analyzes values for every production year of every modern make and model Business Class aircraft, while the Report’s maintenance analytics cover 94 fixed-wing models and 1,591 aircraft listed for sale.

    Other trends detailed in the 4Q 2018 Market Report include:

    • Ask Prices increased for all groups during Q4;

    • Inventory aircraft with higher maintenance exposure relative to Ask Price, spent 57%

      longer on the market than comparable aircraft;

    • Tracked fleet’s Quality Rating remained within the “Excellent” range and saw

      improvement in Q4 2018, over previous 12-month best ratings;

    • Excellent Asset Quality improves Maintenance Exposure for most groups, except for Large

      Jets as the unsold inventory’s accrued/embedded scheduled maintenance increased (worsened).

      “Q4 continued the trend with sales of high-quality, recent models driving average selling prices higher” said Tony Kioussis, president of Asset Insight, LLC. “The seller’s market continued through the end of 2018, and we are forecasting increased prices well into 2019. However, buyers should continue to research the cost for pending maintenance events.”

    Tinton Falls, NJ – February 15, 2018: According to AMSTAT and the new AMSTAT Aircraft Valuation Tool, the average estimated values for most business aircraft segments have risen since the start of Q4 2017.

    The AMSTAT Aircraft Valuation Tool (AVT) calculates objective real‐time estimated values for business aircraft. The AVT Quarterly Aircraft Values Report provides the market with the normalized average estimated value for business aircraft by segment over the last 12 months.

    According to the AVT, three market segments have seen their average estimated values tick upwards since the start of Q4 2017:

    •   In the Heavy Jet segment, while the average estimated value dropped ‐3.5% over the last 12 months, from $15.9M to $15.4M, since October 2017, this value is up +9.2%;

    •   In the Super‐Mid segment, while the average estimated value dropped ‐5.9% over the last 12 months, from $7M to $6.6M, since September 2017, this value is up +19%;

      The Light Jet segment has been more consistent with the average estimated value up +8.2% in the last 12 months from $2.2M to $2.4M.

      “The increase in estimated values reflects recent increases in market demand and a tightening market with fewer options for buyers” said Andrew Young, AMSTAT General Manager.
