Recent self-storage transactions reveal a clear investor focus on operational efficiency, stabilized cash flow, and long-term growth potential. Buyers are targeting a mix of fully leased portfolios and newer facilities with room to scale, favoring deals that offer immediate performance or value-add upside. Notable examples include a six-property portfolio in Oklahoma, an Extra Space-managed portfolio in Nevada, and a newly built Idaho facility with covered RV and boat storage. These deals highlight continued confidence in self-storage fundamentals, particularly in secondary and growing suburban markets.
