Month-over-month average rate increases but pressures stifle year-over-year growth<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., June 24, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 Average U.S. self storage advertised rates posted a month-over-month gain in May 2026 but declined year-over-year, underscoring the industry\u2019s ongoing supply and demand challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new national report from\u00a0Yardi\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0Matrix<\/a>\u00a0illustrates that last month\u2019s 0.8% month-over-month increase exceeded the May increases in 2025 and 2024. The year-over-year decline in the average rent measured 1.8% in May, less than the 1.9% and 2% drops in April and March, respectively. Only Minneapolis and Indianapolis among the top 30 metros saw year-over-year rate growth in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While seasonality is supporting sequential rate gains, \u201csupply pressure and weak demand drivers continue to limit year-over-year growth,\u201d the new report notes, with climate-controlled and non-climate-controlled unit type rates declining equally. The month-over-month gain in May was largely seasonal rather than demand-driven, as key drivers like housing turnover, migration and consumer confidence remain constrained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markets with lower new supply generally continue to outperform in advertised rate growth. Meanwhile, rate growth remains limited in markets with elevated new supply, including Las Vegas and Florida metros Tampa, Sarasota-Cape Coral and Orlando.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
