Market Analysis
The number of Bell 505 listings continues to slowly decrease, while the median asking price is on a gradual increase. Average “Days On Market” has been fairly steady through 2026, with many 505s listed for close to a year before selling – significantly longer than previous years.

Current Asking Prices
Published asking prices provide a useful market reference, but they should not be interpreted as aircraft-specific valuations. Model year, total time, equipment, component status, configuration, geography, history, and seller motivation can materially affect value.
