Webinar Materials
The student housing sector experienced a soft landing during the 2024-2025 leasing season following three years of record-setting performance. Yardi Matrix data shows occupancy remained strong even as rent growth normalized, and early signs for the 2025–2026 season reflect a more competitive environment. Fundamentals continue to diverge across markets, influenced by a weaker conventional apartment sector, shifting enrollment patterns and a supply pipeline that is increasingly concentrated at large public universities.
Watch this on-demand webinar for an in-depth analysis of the latest performance indicators and the emerging themes shaping student housing heading into 2026. Gain a data-driven overview of sector fundamentals, including market-level insights across the Yardi 200 universities. Topics covered include:
- A concise assessment of enrollment growth, highlighting another year of solid gains and the shifting roles of international and out-of-state students
- An overview of 2025 preleasing, occupancy and rent trends, including how weakness in the apartment market is pressuring student housing in select metros
- Supply trends and forecasts, covering declines in off-campus development and where future off-campus and on-campus supply is concentrated
- Capital markets insights, including transaction volume, pricing and the key participants active in today’s student housing sector
