Happy New Year from the team at Self Storage Advisory Australia and our partners in data, StorTrack. We’re pleased to be back for another year, although we must first tie off the end of 2025 before doing so.
As mentioned in the last edition, we’re compiling new insights from the StorTrack dataset. These will begin in the January 2026 edition.
On to the good stuff…
Greater Sydney finished the year with a flurry, with all products posting month-on-month (MoM) increases. Of note, 9.00m² units increased by 6.40%, while 2.25m² units rose by 6.25% – asking rate shifts we haven’t seen in Sydney all year. Greater Brisbane also posted MoM increases across the board, though not to the same extent as Sydney.
Greater Melbourne and Greater Perth find themselves in a similar position, with MoM decreases across nearly all products. This is a far cry from Perth’s strong performance throughout 2025 – are we seeing the start of a regression? We won’t raise any alarm bells just yet.
And finally, Adelaide. We ought to sit up and take notice when simple growth over the last twelve months (LTM) exceeds 10.0%, which is the case for 2.25m² (+13.49%) and 4.50m² (+11.00%) products. Twelve months ago, the people of Adelaide didn’t need locker-sized units. Now they can’t seem to get enough of them.
Thanks for reading our 2025 editions.
