The archive has no Self-Storage Facility category of its own. These figures are for the broader Real Estate sector it sits within, September 2014 to July 2026, and they describe how that sector trades, not what a business like yours would fetch. The deals behind the EBITDA median had a median value of $430M, larger than most owner-operated businesses. Who buys in Real Estate
The recorded deals price below the indicative estimate on revenue (median 2.5x, n=6, against 3.5x to 4.5x). The two sources measure different businesses: the estimate is for a business of this kind, the recorded deals are the larger companies in the broader sector. Neither is a valuation of yours.
