Radius proprietary research, year-end 2025 report: cap rate, price per door and volume are calendar-year 2025; vacancy is a Q4 2025 reading. Estimates only, not investment advice. *Isla Vista: Sample size insufficient for a reliable submarket vacancy figure. Isla Vista's three 2025 transactions represent too small a data pool to derive a defensible vacancy rate.
