Student housing\u2019s consistently rising preleasing rate exceeded 50 percent of tracked inventory by the end of January 2024, well ahead of last year\u2019s figure, according to the latest Yardi Matrix National Student Housing Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Preleasing for the 2024-2025 school year reached 54.5 percent in January, marking a 710-basis-point increase since January 2023. A total of 22 markets were at least 75 percent preleased, while four exceeded the 90 percent rate. A combination of enrollment growth and decreasing new supply is driving the sector\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asking rates at Yardi 200 schools continued to climb to record highs, hitting $863 per bed in January. However, rent growth decelerated year-over-year, falling to 4.4 percent in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRent growth patterns in student housing vary by market. Some operators push rates hard at the beginning of the leasing season to test the market and ease rent growth later on to fill the remaining beds. Slowing rent growth also reflects the fact that increases were high a year ago,\u201d say Matrix analysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yardi Matrix forecasts that 46,285 new beds will deliver in 2024, marking a significant increase from the 35,610 beds delivered in 2023. Investment activity decelerated in 2023, with only 76 student housing properties changing hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
