After two years of steady price declines, the self-storage market is finally showing signs of stabilization. While national rental rates dipped just 0.7% year-over-year in January, month-over-month prices are beginning to rebound—suggesting the industry may be reaching equilibrium.
In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down the latest self-storage report from Rent Cafe. She reports on where prices are falling, where they're rising, and which markets are seeing the biggest new developments in 2025. With supply growth slowing and demand strengthening in key cities, what does this mean for investors?
Tune in to find out which markets are poised for recovery, where self-storage rents are still declining, and how these shifts could impact real estate investments in the year ahead.
