From piston singles and turboprops to light jets, days-on-market have tripled since 2022, and many owners are still pricing aircraft like it’s 2021. Jason breaks down how to interpret real market data, why “seller expectation lag” is slowing deals, and what every owner, buyer, and lender needs to understand about fair market, orderly liquidation, and forced liquidation values in today’s environment. In This Episode Why aircraft sit on the market — and how the slowdown is showing across categories The difference between Fair Market Value (FMV) , Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV) , and Forced Liquidation Value (FLV) What lender portfolios and repossessions reveal about market stress The top six reasons aircraft don’t sell — from high engine times to missing logbooks How unrealistic pricing and seller denial are distorting the market Why cosmetic neglect, outdated avionics, and incomplete records can kill a deal What owners can do now to maintain value and liquidity in a cooling market Key Takeaways The 2021 boom is over. Pricing must follow reality, not nostalgia. FMV ≠ listing price. In this market, true fair value can be 10–20% below asking. Liquidation values matter. Lenders use OLV and FLV to gauge real collateral risk. Engine time is still king. Looming overhauls attract bottom feeders, not retail buyers. Logs sell planes.
