Nationally, overall street rates (all unit sizes and types combined) dropped $1 to $141, down 0.7 percent month-over-month. Historically, rate growth is positive in July, averaging a sequential increase of 0.8 percent in the past seven years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLower street rates are a result of weak move-in activity, with average REIT occupancy in Q2 2023 down 400 basis points from its all-time peak in Q2 2021. Demand is impacted by the weak home sales market and domestic migration coming down from pandemic highs,\u201d state Matrix analysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Street rates continued to be negative year-over-year in July in nearly all of Yardi Matrix\u2019s top 31 metros. Rates for 10&#215;10 non-climate-controlled units dropped in 30 of the top 31 metros compared to July 2022, while rates for similar-size climate-controlled units also decreased in all but one of the top markets (Pittsburgh).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the challenges, there are bright spots. The job market remains sound, and strong consumer balance sheets will support long-term demand. Self storage demand has historically been resilient, coming from a variety of sources, and growth rebounds quickly following a downturn due to month-to-month lease terms and flexible customer rate increase programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about the state of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardimatrix.com\/publications\/download\/file\/4220-MatrixSelfStorageNationalReport-August2023?signup=false\">self storage sector<\/a> nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yardi Matrix tracks a total of 4,916 self storage properties in various stages of development, including 830 under construction, 1,977 planned, 672 prospective, 1,375 abandoned and 62 deferred.
