Rates trail despite delivery slowdown. Matrix unveils new CMBS and Claude resources<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0U.S. self storage advertised rates remained under pressure through September 2026 as pricing trends and industry feedback indicate a softening of demand in the third quarter, according to new research from Yardi\u00ae<\/sup> Matrix<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National advertised rates slipped 1.8% year over year in September, even as slowing construction improves the long-term supply outlook. And although year-over-year advertised rate performance improved from August in half of the top 30 Yardi Matrix metros, positive annual rate growth remained limited. Non-climate-controlled rates increased only in New York City and Salt Lake City, and climate-controlled rates rose only in Austin, Texas, and New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supply pressures eased in most of the top 30 metros in September, with the trailing three-year delivery share declining year-over-year in 21 markets. However, \u201cslower deliveries have yet to translate into meaningful advertised rate improvement due to lease-up properties reportedly taking longer to reach stabilization,\u201d according to the Yardi Matrix Self Storage National Report for October 2026<\/a>, which draws from 2,324 self storage properties in various stages of development. Yardi Matrix also maintains operational profiles for 33,283 completed U.S. self storage facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWeak population and multifamily rent growth are providing limited support for storage demand across much of the country,\u201d the report adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news, Yardi Matrix now offers clients occupancy data for properties with commercial mortgage-backed securities loans. Self storage professionals can also use the Yardi Matrix Connector for Claude<\/a> to ask natural language questions about rent trends, occupancy, ownership, loan data, the supply line and other Yardi Matrix data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
