Occupancy stabilization helps offset ongoing demand weakness<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 28, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 The U.S. self storage market\u2019s 1% month-over-month advertised rate growth in April 2026 starts the busy spring leasing season on a positive note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although April\u2019s year-over-year national advertised rate growth rate fell 1.9%, most of the top 30 metros saw stronger year-over-year performance that month than in March, according to new research from\u00a0Yardi\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Matrix<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principal driver of the improving performance was the 0.6% in-place rent growth in Q1 2026. Stabilizing occupancy that countered continued demand weakness and a longer-term slowdown in move-in activity were other key factors in the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new report documents the clear connection between operating performance and local supply conditions in the current uncertain demand environment. Elevated new supply in Florida, Las Vegas, Phoenix and other Sun Belt markets, for example,
continues to pressure pricing and drive revenue declines. Meanwhile, limited or declining supply in metros such as Boston, Chicago and Minneapolis is supporting healthy revenue growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost [self storage] REITs anticipate further sequential improvement in fundamentals in 2026 and beyond\u201d as development activity continues to cool, the report says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
