As of July, the overall national street rate dropped to $141.

On a monthly basis, the average street rates for the 10×10 non-climate-controlled and climate-controlled units combined were down $1 to $134. The decline was extensive, as rates declined in 22 of the top 31 metros.
Adding to the new-supply pipeline
As of July, on a national level, there were 4,916 self storage projects in all stages of development.
