$2.2M to $2.5M homes barely move.

Real upgrades happen at $2M to $3.5M, or $5M down to $3M. That's the range where transactions actually occur.

The reason turnover stays low isn't just price. It's that $300K-$400K household incomes, even with Bay Area tech wages, don't leave much room to trade up.

Beautiful place. Brutal price tag.

High quality of life, high cost of living, and it's pushing out the people who keep the town running, from baristas to servers.

The tradeoff is real everywhere now. Bay Area, New York, even Texas and Florida aren't cheap anymore.

The honest answer? If you can afford it, you'll love it. If you can't, it's a real problem worth talking about.

Buy first, sell second. Sounds perfect.

Until you're carrying two mortgages, two tax bills, and two utility payments for months.

In this market, that's $10K–$30K a month. Just to hold both homes at once.

Contingent offers sound safe.

To sellers, they sound risky. You're asking them to pass on a clean 7-30 day close and bet on your home selling too. That's 45-60 extra days of things that could go wrong in a deal they don't control.

Skip the contingency, or bring a price strong enough to make the wait worth it.

Nearly half of U.S. homeowners have a mortgage rate below 4%.
One in five are under 3%.

Sell now, and you're trading that for a rate in the high 5s or 6s, plus a bigger property tax bill.

That's the golden handcuff effect. It's a bigger reason for low inventory than most buyers realize. Stop waiting for more listings to hit the market, and be ready to move the second the right one does.

👉 What are your thoughts on this? I'd love to know in the comments.

44 homes in San Francisco sold for $1M+ over asking last month. That's $60 million in combined premium.

A Redfin report says if OpenAI and Anthropic go public this year, their employees could buy a third of all homes in SF.

The pattern isn't random. Marina, North Beach, Noe Valley, Financial District, all clustered near the AI money. The western neighborhoods barely moved.

Burlingame collects $22M+ a year just from SFO airport hotels.

Add another $5-7M from Auto Row, and you've got a city with a hidden tax advantage most buyers never think about.

That's the real reason a fallen tree gets cleared in 30 minutes, not 3 days. It's the same reason the parks look manicured, and the schools stay funded.

You're not just paying for a house in Burlingame. You're paying into a city that can actually afford to take care of itself.

Burlingame new construction started at $6M.

A block away, another sold in the higher $5M range. Down the street, mid-$4Ms for a 10-year-old build.

Same neighborhood. Wildly different price tags.

Don't chase a number; chase the floor plan and the lot. Value in East Burlingame isn't about age; it's about what's actually built.

Redwood City has 84,000 people, and barely anyone's talking about it.

$360M city budget. A revived downtown. Box HQ down the street. New construction everywhere you look.

The play isn't the $3.5M homes in the hills. It's the flatter, affordable neighborhoods minutes from 101, 280, and Caltrain, in a city with weather so good the sign literally says "climate best by government test."
