Orlando and Kissimmee self storage sales reached $31 million in Q2 as demand was strong.
Unlike office or retail, where fundamentals remain uneven, Central Florida’s self storage market is seeing steady investor demand fueled by population growth and mobility. In Q2 2025, Kissimmee and Orlando together recorded $31.5M in trades across more than 260K sf, ranking among the nation’s most active markets, according to StorageCafe’s sales report.
Key takeaways from the self storage report for Central Florida:
- Kissimmee posted $20.2M over 170K sf at $119/sf. Storage is absorbing rapid in-migration to Central Florida and suburban expansion tied to the Orlando metro’s growth, who’s population grew by 25% since 2014. It was ranked 10th across the country.
- Orlando added $11.3M across 94K sf at $120/sf, reflecting investor confidence in a market with 7.1 sf per capita and strong rent performance ($131 average in July 2025). It was ranked 20th in the U.S.
About Kissimmee, the report also stated: “After all, Osceola County is one of Florida’s fastest-growing counties, with consistent in-migration and suburban expansion. Add Orlando’s tourism engine, which brings constant mobility, and storage demand looks durable. Unlike undersupplied cities, Kissimmee is less about scarcity and more about growth certainty. Investors accept higher supply levels because they believe continued population gains will absorb it.”
Even in higher-supply markets, investors are paying for long-term absorption potential driven by housing demand, tourism, and household formation throughout Central Florida.
Overall, the report said the self storage sector held its ground. You can view the full report online: Q2 Self Storage Sales Report.
