Matrix Bulletin-Self Storage Forecast-Q4 2024
Despite a slowdown in new construction starts through mid-year 2024, the self storage under-construction pipeline increased on a year-over-year basis. The Q4 forecast update has therefore increased new supply for 2025 by 7.8%, and for 2026 by 6.0%. Yardi Matrix advertised rent and development pipeline data continue to suggest an overall deceleration in long-term self storage development interest.

Matrix Research Bulletin-Multifamily Forecast-Q4 2024
Yardi Matrix's development pipeline data continues to indicate declining multifamily development activity. New-construction starts have bottomed at an approximate annualized rate roughly 50% below the levels recorded in 2022 and early 2023. Elevated completion times, however, leave a still-sizable under-construction pipeline.

Matrix Bulletin-Self Storage Forecast-Q3 2024
Yardi Matrix expects self storage new supply to contract over the longer term as interest in new development declines. Compared to last quarter’s update, the forecast has been increased for 2024 as well as later years, but that’s to account for our expanded market coverage, as the rate of change remains the same. In the past year, Yardi Matrix has initiated coverage for 17 new self storage markets that comprise approximately 4.5% of the current completed inventory in our database.

Matrix RVBoat Storage National Report-Summer 2024
Advertised rental rates for RV and boat storage decreased a modest 0.4% in June 2024, as demand from new equipment sales dropped. Still, that compares to a rent decline for traditional self storage. And with slowed development activity, RV and boat storage retains a strong outlook.

Matrix Research Bulletin-Multifamily Forecast Notes-Q3 2024
In Q2 2024, the Yardi Matrix multifamily under-construction pipeline started to retreat from post-pandemic highs. The still-large inventory supports solid levels of new supply for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025. However, with multifamily construction starts falling off faster than previously anticipated, for the Q3 2024 update the Yardi Matrix Multifamily Supply Forecast has been reduced for 2026 and 2027.
