Read this first. Every price here is an asking price — what a
new customer is quoted online today. None of it is what a sitting tenant actually pays, and none
of it is a transacted rate. Occupancy is a single-day snapshot (27 Jul 2026), not a trend.
Where a number is disputed it is marked as such rather than averaged away.
01The market has 7,679 units, and it is nearly full
Unit counts come from each operator's own inventory feed. Blue is the StoragePUG
platform, green is storEDGE — the two systems that publish a real denominator.

Disputed: Metro Verde's own system reports 538 units; an earlier
square-footage estimate put it at 176. Both appear in the record. Its available count (9) is
identical either way, so the occupancy percentage is the uncertain part, not the vacancy.
03One competitor prices the same unit three ways
Sonoma Storage does not run one price per size. It runs a ladder — and the cheapest
tier holds the most units. Every tier below is real inventory, not a display artifact.

Sonoma is 495 of 496 units rented. A single 10×10 at the cheapest tier is
the entire vacancy in the building. A price ladder is what an operator does when it has no space left to sell.
04The promotion calendar, from the operators' databases
Not from advertising — these are the discount records inside each operator's own
system, with the date each was created.

Two waves. Five facilities launched "1st Month Free" between
22 Sep and 17 Oct 2025. Two more followed in Feb 2026. One independent — Discount — runs
promotions continuously and never stops. One cycle per facility is a shape, not a season.

Across all 407 posts there is not a single dollar figure.
No "% off", no "move-in special", no advertised rate — in eight years. Competitors do not
compete on price in public. What they do post is evergreen: a standing 10% military and
first-responder discount, and a 10% NMSU student discount.
Seasonality is not measurable here. The post distribution looks seasonal until you
notice most of it is one partial year. Excluding it leaves roughly five posts per calendar month
spread across a decade — too thin to read a season from, and 54% of the dates are inferred rather than stated.
