Student Housing Market Update: Strong Fundamentals Amidst Slowed Leasing Velocity

Explore the Latest College House Report: Student Housing National Pre-Lease Sits at 82.4%.

With just over six weeks remaining in the leasing cycle, the student housing market continues to demonstrate strong fundamentals. Despite a national slowdown in leasing velocity, with pre-leasing trailing by approximately 4%, the industry remains resilient. Last year's pre-leasing velocity for the 23/24 Academic Year (AY)  was record-setting, with rate growth reaching double digits in most markets.

When compared to the lease-up for AY 22/23 - which ultimately resulted in a 93.2% national occupancy post move-in, pre-leasing is still ahead of pace.

Looking ahead, with limited new supply expected over the next few years and increasing enrollments at many larger Tier 1 institutions, student housing continues to show strong fundamentals amidst a tempered lease up for the AY 24/25.
