The Guardian says SF home prices are "ridiculous."

I say year one.

$2.15M median. AI money everywhere. The biggest IPOs haven't even hit yet.

Everyone waiting for the crash is about to watch luxury run away from them. #SFRealEstate

3/ Rent is a payment. A mortgage in a supply-starved city is a position. Waiting for it to "pencil out monthly" is how people rent their whole life. Positioning beats timing. #SFRealEstate

1/ "Renting in SF is cheaper than buying." Sure. This month.
A one-bedroom is ~$4,000 and still climbing. Rent buys you flexibility. Up 20% YoY. It never buys you the asset.

2/ Owning costs more in month one. Nobody serious argues otherwise. But "cheaper in March" was never the question. The question is: where are you in five years?

Want to see the one that was on the market? The Colgate Mansion, 924 Grove St in Alamo Square. Listed around $6.8M, sold for $7.5M in a matter of weeks.

Here's the listing ��

1/ $32M in San Francisco trophy homes traded this month. The two biggest never touched Zillow or Redfin. Off-market, no public listing. If you're only searching online, you're seeing the leftovers.

[David Ray @Raygorodsky]

3/ The best deals in this market move through relationships, not search bars. Not a pitch, just how a low-supply market works. If you want in before it's public, that's the whole job.

2/ The one that was listed? The Colgate Mansion on Alamo Square. Asked ~$6.8M, sold for $7.5M in a matter of weeks. Roughly $700K over. Good inventory is scarce, and it does not sit.

[David Ray @Raygorodsky]

3/ The "doom loop" headlines were the buy signal. If you're holding tech equity and still renting, you already know what I'm going to say. My DMs are open. #SanFrancisco #RealEstate

[David Ray @Raygorodsky]

1/ Hot take: San Francisco isn't dying. It's about to be more expensive than it has ever been. And the people who left will spend the next few years pretending they saw it coming.

[David Ray @Raygorodsky]

2/ We're roughly one year into what these cycles usually run: about five. SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic haven't even hit the public markets yet. That liquidity has to live somewhere.

@KimberleyBackp1 Wow! Didn't know there'd be a hotel in Cape Town in 1895. What year was the city established?
