Aviation Real Estate Magazine is kicking off 2026 with the release of its first edition of the year, just as the aviation property market shifts from a pure seller’s market to a more balanced environment for buyers and sellers. Demand and desirability for quality aviation properties remain strong, but buyers now enjoy more choices as inventory has increased significantly in many airparks and aviation communities.
Balanced market, same strong demand
Over the past year, the aviation real estate market has transitioned from a heavily tilted seller’s market to a more even, sustainable balance. Many locations that historically had little or no inventory now have two to three times more available listings, giving buyers more options while still supporting strong pricing for well-marketed properties.
January 2026 issue launch
The January 2026 edition of Aviation Real Estate Magazine is now live, packed with aviation real estate for sale, fresh listings, and detailed updates on sold or pending properties nationwide. In this more balanced market, the magazine serves as a critical guide for pilot buyers comparing opportunities across multiple airparks, while helping sellers and developers stand out in a more choice-rich environment.
Cover feature: Twin Hawks Airpark
On the January 2026 cover is Twin Hawks Airpark (AZ63), a standout residential aviation community located northwest of Tucson and south of the greater Phoenix metro area in Arizona. This featured property offers a lighted dirt strip and a home packed with upgrades, making it an ideal winter getaway for pilots from the Pacific Northwest or Alaska seeking sunshine, runway access, and a turnkey aviation lifestyle retreat.
Largest network of aviation specialists
Aviation Real Estate Magazine is backed by one of the largest groups of dedicated Aviation Real Estate Specialists, showcased at AviationRealEstateSpecialists.com. These professionals focus on airpark homes, hangars, and aviation-accessible properties, connecting pilot buyers with the right listings and communities at a time when inventory is expanding and expert guidance is more valuable than ever.
Sister publication: PropertyOnTheWater.com
Alongside the 2026 aviation focus, the new sister publication PropertyOnTheWater.com highlights waterfront homes, fly-in waterfront estates, and marine-accessible properties for boaters and pilots alike. This platform complements Aviation Real Estate Magazine by serving buyers who want both runway or seaplane access and premium waterfront living, expanding the reach of specialist advertisers into a broader lifestyle market.
Big 2026 event schedule and expanded booth
The 2026 calendar includes a major presence at AOPA Buckeye, SUN ’n FUN Aerospace Expo, and EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, three of the most important events in general aviation. At these shows, the team is expanding an already large booth to feature an even bigger display of Aviation Real Estate show posters and promotional materials, giving featured communities, listings, and advertisers stronger visual impact in front of thousands of pilots and aviation families.
Expanded advertiser marketing
For advertisers, 2026 launches a new expanded marketing program designed for those who truly want to stand out in this higher-inventory, opportunity-rich environment. Packages combine premium magazine placement, digital exposure, social media amplification to a large aviation audience, and enhanced visibility at major events, including poster displays inside the enlarged show booth. Advertisers ready to elevate their presence are encouraged to make contact now to secure prime positions in upcoming issues and throughout the 2026 event lineup.
Residential airpark advocacy
Aviation Real Estate Magazine and its specialist network also serve as active advocates for residential airparks, emphasizing how critical it is to keep pilots living, buying, and investing inside aviation communities. This group is one of the only organized voices consistently pressing airparks and HOAs to educate residents on the importance of demanding specialty aviation advertising whenever a property is listed, because hiring a non-aviation agent—or any broker unwilling to invest in targeted aviation marketing—ultimately hurts the airpark’s values, community health, and ongoing right to flight.
