SR22 market report for Oct 2025
Here’s a summary of key market-trends for the Cirrus SR22 this month (November 2025) — based on broader used general-aviation data plus what we’re seeing in SR22 listings. While model-specific statistical databases are thin, the indicators are meaningful for deal-finding.
What’s working in the SR22 market
- Inventory of modern SR22s (especially G5/G6/G7 models) is modest but growing: As older owners move toward jets or newer types, more SR22s are coming on the market. This is helping buyer leverage.
- Buyers are placing increasing premium on recent avionics and safety upgrades (e.g., latest glass panels, autopilot, ADS-B/WAAS) rather than just airframe hours. The ideal is a well-equipped year and a lower time.
- Tax and financing environment remains favorable for buyers. According to one recent commentary, conditions are “buyer-favorable” heading into Q4 2025—less mismatch of urgency on the seller side. (LifeStyle Aviation)
- For SR22s specifically, newer certified enhancements (for example the G7 with updated cockpit in early 2024) give strong resale value support. (Wikipedia)
What’s putting pressure / caution areas
- Asking prices overall among used GA aircraft are showing signs of stabilization or slight downward adjustment. While not strong declines, some softness is creeping in. (controller.com)
- Older SR22s (pre-G3, high time, with less modern avionics or no autopilot/ADS-B) are less differentiated and face tougher negotiation.
- With more inventory (especially of late-model SR22s), sellers may need to make realistic adjustments—so buyer patience and preparedness matter.
- Engine/airframe SMOH (since many SR22s are higher-utilisation) and documentation (logs, damage history) continue to be differentiators. If those are weak, value erodes quickly.
Pricing & trend snapshot
- While I don’t have a fully model-specific dataset for SR22s this month, the broader used piston/GA aircraft market shows asking prices leveling off rather than increasing. (controller.com)
- Premium for “best in class” SR22s (low time, full glass, autopilot, ADS-B, recent major service) remains strong because of demand from owner-pilots wanting top performance and safety.
- Value gap between “well-equipped late model” vs “older/basic” SR22 is widening — meaning encourage focus on equipment, logs, and service status, not just airframe year.
🔍 Strategic implications for buyers
- If you’re looking at SR22s now, you may be in a good window to negotiate—sellers are not overly pressured, but you have leverage.
- Don’t over-value “just year” or “just low time” — insist on solid avionics, autopilot, recent inspections/maintenance, documented history. These are what separate a good deal from a mediocre one.
- Older SR22s can be good deals, but you must budget for potential avionics/maintenance upgrades or catch-up services.
- If you’re looking at very late-model (post-G6/G7) SR22s, be aware you might be paying for future residual value; ensure mission fits and don’t overpay just for the “latest” status.
- Keep an eye on engine/prop service history — a tired engine or upcoming major overhaul reduces value quickly.
