“So we start with Yardi, which is a national database and might have a little different opinion.”
Extra Space relies on Yardi as its primary national supply database, calling it the best data source in the industry.
“But right now, it's -- almost all our dollars go to Google.”
Extra Space's digital marketing spend remains almost entirely concentrated with Google search advertising, with no current allocation to AI platforms like ChatGPT or Grok.
“Part of that is to offset the SmartStop preferred we were prepaid in the early part of this quarter.”
Extra Space held a preferred equity investment in self-storage peer SmartStop that was prepaid this quarter, freeing capital and factoring into EXR's loan-balance guidance.
“This reduction reflects the repayment of the SmartStop $200 million preferred investment and the expected buyout of certain JV partners.”
Extra Space is being repaid on a $200 million preferred investment it held in SmartStop, a self-storage peer, reducing EXR's equity-and-earnings guidance line by roughly $10 million of the total $17 million adjustment.
