It was not an easy year for self-storage owners in 2025! Over the past 12 months we have seen the performance of the self-storage sector continue to muddle through the challenging operating environment of lower occupancies, low rental rates, and rising operating expenses. Values moderated in the first half of the year, and as we close out 2025, we are experiencing a reset in pricing expectations across all markets. This paradigm shift in the market has storage owners and investors reevaluating their business models and investment goals to make sure their investments excel in this new environment. With over 31 years of self-storage experience, Argus brokers continue to help our clients navigate the ever-changing self-storage landscape.
