Wednesday, August 8th, 2012 at 1pm Pacific: Turning a Rising or Falling Real Estate Market Into More Rentals
We shared ideas about how storage operators can use trends in the real estate market to our advantage. When home values are increasing, how does that change the types of customers we get and their intended uses for storage? How does the health of the real estate market affect what people are willing to pay for storage? Are contractors coming back to life, and when should self storage operators go after them? If your local real estate market is still weak, what opportunities does that open up?
