Yardi Matrix Launches Student Housing Platform, Hosts Upcoming Webinar

Student housing has been a steady performer during
recessions in the past, but what about during a pandemic? Find out on July 15

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.,
July 7, 2020 – Already well
known in the industry for its dependable, up-to-date and prescient market data,
Yardi®
Matrix will take those
skills to school as it begins reporting on the student housing sector.

The new research
area from Yardi Matrix comes at a particularly opportune time, as student
housing owners and investors are navigating an uncertain environment caused by
the COVID-19 pandemic. With many colleges and universities still making final
decisions about what campus life and enrollment will look like in fall 2020,
housing providers are anxious to see how this unprecedented situation will
impact revenue streams and investment health. Quarterly Matrix reports focused
on the student housing market will be available beginning this summer.

Market coverage
will include over 2,000 universities and colleges nationwide, including
the top 200 investment grade universities across all major collegiate
conferences. Reports will also include shadow markets, meaning campus-proximate
housing that often is rented by college students, though it may not be
categorized as traditional student housing.

“We’re looking
forward to offering the same comprehensive and future-thinking reporting that
we do for the rest of the real estate industry to the student housing sector,”
said Jeff Adler, vice president of Yardi Matrix. “We’ve done a deep dive into
student housing fundamentals and look forward to sharing our insight with all
who are interested.”

To that end, the
Yardi Matrix team will host a July 15 webinar focused entirely on the student
housing market. Attendees can expect to gain insight on the short and long-term
impact of COVID-19, best and worst-case scenarios, key indicators for operators
and potential areas of opportunity. You can secure your spot in the online
session by signing up here.
