Property data
Yardi Matrix
Yardi Matrix is the market intelligence arm of Yardi Systems, built for investment professionals, equity investors, lenders, and property managers who underwrite and manage multifamily, student housing, industrial, office, and self storage assets.
The data is property-level and compiled through a mix of original research studies and secondary sources, with the methodology published on the site: how the apartment rental market and apartment supply are defined, how a property's improvements and location are rated, how development activity and conversions are reported, how rental concessions are surveyed, and how a market standard rent is determined. Matrix also draws on data from the Yardi property management system to produce aggregated and anonymized operating expense, revenue, and operational data, which the firm presents as a clearer read on asset performance and market positioning.
Coverage is nationwide and organized into regions, each with its own published property and unit counts; the Midwest region, for example, is listed at 16,493 properties totaling 2,957,538 apartment units across 55 markets. Alongside the data platform, Yardi Matrix publishes market reports, forecasts, and commentary on current conditions at both micro and macro levels.
What to check directly: the site states its market count differently in different places, describing coverage of 226 markets on the about page and 189 markets on the coverage map, so confirm the exact market list and property types included in a quote. The coverage map also notes that the apartment data covers properties of 50 units and larger, and pricing is not published.
Best for
Lenders, equity investors, and operators underwriting multifamily or self storage who need property-level data and forecasts. Less useful for owners of small properties, since the apartment coverage is of properties 50 units and larger.
