๐Ÿ”ฅ The largest freestanding outdoor sauna in America is coming to San Francisco, and most people have no idea it's there.

Hidden behind a historic warehouse in Lower Nob Hill, Alchemy Springs is transforming a former pop-up sauna garden into a full-scale wellness destination inspired by San Francisco's legendary Sutro Baths.

The experience will include:
โ€ข Hot and cold plunge pools
โ€ข A 200-degree meditation sauna
โ€ข Herb-infused steam rooms
โ€ข An infrared greenhouse
โ€ข Tea lounge and co-working spaces
โ€ข Yoga and wellness programming

What's even more impressive is that the company has grown almost entirely through word of mouth and is already planning locations across the country.

The sauna garden is open now, while the full bathhouse is expected to open later this year.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Would you try a 200-degree sauna experience?

๐Ÿ™๏ธ Just a few years ago, San Francisco condos were being called one of the worst real estate investments in the country.

Today, some of those same buildings are seeing renewed demand, stronger pricing, and multiple-offer situations that seemed impossible back in 2022.

What changed?

A big part of the story is the AI boom.

Companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI have helped fuel a new wave of hiring, investment, and wealth flowing back into the city. As more high-income workers move closer to the action, housing demand is picking up again, especially in neighborhoods that were hit hardest during the downturn.

The result is a market that looks very different from what we saw just a couple of years ago.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Has the AI boom changed your outlook on San Francisco real estate?

๐Ÿธ San Francisco is turning the city into one giant martini crawl.

The Martini Trail is back, featuring 23 hand-picked bars across SF serving some of the cityโ€™s best cocktails, all inspired by a drink that was actually born here during the Gold Rush era.

The best part is thereโ€™s no ticket and no set schedule. You can build your own route and explore some of San Franciscoโ€™s most iconic cocktail spots at your own pace.

This year thereโ€™s also a twist: two spots on the trail are still open, and the public gets to vote on which bars make the final list.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Which SF bar makes your favorite martini?

๐Ÿ’ฐ San Francisco just received $12 million in federal funding aimed at housing, public safety, transit, and community programs.

Some of the biggest allocations include:
โ€ข Housing improvements at Gerald Commons
โ€ข Safety lighting upgrades at Muni stops
โ€ข New police vehicles
โ€ข Funding for UCSFโ€™s AI research lab
โ€ข Workforce and senior support programs

On paper, that sounds like a big investment into the cityโ€™s future.

But the bigger question is whether residents will actually feel the impact day to day.

Will this improve safety? Transit? Housing? Quality of life? Or is it just another round of funding people barely notice on the ground?

๐Ÿ‘‰ If you had control of the budget, what would you prioritize most in San Francisco right now?

๐Ÿ™๏ธ San Francisco and Austin are telling two very different housing stories.

During the pandemic, both cities were hit by major migration shifts. San Francisco saw people leave and rents fall, while Austin saw a surge of tech workers arrive and rents jump.

Fast forward to 2026, and the difference comes down to supply.

Austin built aggressively, added a lot of new housing, and rents started coming down. San Francisco, on the other hand, added far less new supply, and rents have climbed back sharply.

Thatโ€™s the housing policy debate in one example. When cities build enough housing, renters usually get more options. When supply stays tight, prices tend to rise.

It doesnโ€™t mean every project is perfect, but it does show how much housing supply matters.

๐Ÿ“ East Palo Alto is quietly doing something almost no other Peninsula market is doing right now.

Homes in EPA are now selling in roughly 32 days. A year ago, it was closer to 66.

At the same time, while much of San Mateo County has seen prices soften year over year, East Palo Alto has actually continued holding value.

Thatโ€™s whatโ€™s making this market so interesting right now.

While many Peninsula homeowners have watched equity shrink during the correction, EPA has remained one of the few submarkets still showing resilience.

A lot of buyers are starting to pay closer attention to the value gap between East Palo Alto and neighboring cities like Palo Alto and Menlo Park, especially as affordability continues becoming a bigger conversation across the Peninsula.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Silicon Valley just approved 272 fully affordable apartments near one of the regionโ€™s biggest transit hubs.

The new seven-story development at 860 West San Carlos in San Jose will bring a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom units within walking distance of Diridon Station, alongside amenities like a fitness center, courtyard, and computer room.

This is part of a much larger push happening across the Bay Area right now: building more housing near major transit corridors instead of continuing endless suburban sprawl.

But this conversation is bigger than just adding units.

The real challenge is figuring out how cities balance density, affordability, walkability, and overall quality of life at the same time.

Done right, projects like this can create stronger communities with better transit access and lower commuting pressure. Done poorly, they can feel rushed and disconnected from the neighborhoods around them.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Whatโ€™s your take on transit-oriented housing?
Do projects like this help solve the Bay Area housing problem, or are cities moving too aggressively toward density?

๐Ÿก San Franciscoโ€™s housing market is doing something very different from the rest of the country right now.

While many major markets are slowing down, San Francisco median home prices just climbed to roughly $2.15 million, setting a new record.

A big reason behind it? The AI boom.

Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are fueling a new wave of high-income buyers, especially at the luxury end of the market. In March alone, more than 20 homes sold for over $5 million each.

Thatโ€™s creating a strange split in the market. Luxury demand remains extremely strong, while affordability continues getting harder for many middle-income buyers.

At this point, San Francisco almost feels like itโ€™s operating in its own economy again, driven heavily by AI, tech wealth, and limited inventory.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Do you think the AI boom is helping San Francisco rebound, or making the city increasingly unaffordable for everyday buyers?

๐Ÿ—๏ธ A major downtown San Jose condo project just came back to life in a way almost nobody expected.

After the original developer defaulted on a $330 million construction loan, the project at 188 West St. James looked like another stalled downtown development story.

Instead, a new investment group stepped in, committed another $30 million into upgrades, and now the project already has more than 500 people on the buyer waitlist.

That kind of demand is getting a lot of attention, especially in a condo market that many people assumed had slowed down.

Studios are expected to start around the low $400s, while penthouses could reach nearly $2 million. The bigger story though might be what this says about downtown San Jose overall.

Between continued South Bay job growth, urban redevelopment, and buyers looking for alternatives to higher Peninsula pricing, downtown San Jose may be entering a very different phase than what we saw over the last few years.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Do you think downtown San Jose is finally becoming a serious residential destination, or does it still have a long way to go?
