AI is reshaping San Francisco real estate.

After several years of uncertainty, San Francisco’s housing market has regained remarkable momentum. Inventory remains limited, buyer demand has accelerated, and well-positioned homes continue to attract multiple offers. While interest rates remain elevated compared to the ultra-low rates of 2021, the biggest force driving today’s market is not mortgage rates—it’s artificial intelligence.

The Bay Area has emerged as the global epicenter of the AI revolution, with companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and dozens of well-funded startups attracting top talent from around the world. Rents have surged, luxury home sales have accelerated, and many buyers are arriving with substantial stock-based wealth and significant liquidity from secondary share sales.

What makes this cycle different from previous tech booms is its concentration. The strongest demand is occurring in neighborhoods favored by AI founders, executives, and highly compensated engineers, putting upward pressure on prices at the upper end of the market. As long as San Francisco remains the center of AI innovation and housing supply remains constrained, the outlook for high-quality residential real estate remains exceptionally strong. For homeowners, it is a reminder that the city’s greatest asset has always been its ability to attract talent, capital, and innovation—and today, AI is bringing all three back in force.

In just 10 months, all 35 homes at the Norvoir Building sold out. It was a privilege to represent this project alongside Antoine Crumeyrolle and bring a thoughtful new development to market with Compass.

Sitting directly across from Ghirardelli Square, Norvoir brought clean, modern living into the heart of Russian Hill, a neighborhood that buyers know well and don’t take lightly. The homes are filled with natural light, smart layouts, and quality finishes that feel timeless rather than trendy. From studios to three-bedroom residences, the design respected the character of the area while delivering what today’s buyers actually want.

This project was about pricing it right, positioning it clearly, and understanding who the buyer is for this part of the city. Seeing a complete sellout of all 35 homes in just 10 months reinforces what I’ve learned over the years in San Francisco real estate: good product, honest strategy, and the right partners still matter and they work.

139 Brompton Avenue | 3BD/2BA/2PKG | Offered at $2,095,000

A soaking tub, infrared sauna, marble kitchen counters, vaulted ceilings, and a Flora Grubb designed garden all tucked behind a classic Glen Park Victorian facade.

139 Brompton Avenue has been completely reimagined for modern living while still keeping the warmth and character that make these homes so special. The kitchen is easily one of the standout spaces, with slate blue cabinetry, open shelving, a professional range, and direct access to the deck and backyard for easy indoor outdoor living.

Downstairs, the primary suite opens straight to the garden and feels more like a private retreat than a typical lower level space.

Just moments from Glen Park Village, BART, and easy freeway access.

Open Houses:
Saturday, May 30th | 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Sunday, May 31st | 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

“It’s comforting to have an agent that will tell you when you SHOULDN’T buy a house.”

That line says everything about how I approach this work.

My job isn’t to close deals. It’s to protect your interests, give you honest guidance, and make sure that when you do move forward, you do so with complete confidence.

Whether you’re navigating your first purchase or thinking about selling, the right agent makes all the difference.

Closed | Clarendon Heights, San Francisco

Elliott Burdin and I represented the buyer in the purchase of this top floor residence tucked along one of Clarendon Heights’ quiet, winding streets.

With wide open views across the city and valley, the home is filled with natural light throughout the day. The living space centers around a wood burning fireplace, with classic details like herringbone floors and crown molding adding a sense of character that is hard to replicate. The kitchen and bath have been thoughtfully updated, and the private deck and terraced garden create a rare outdoor setting that feels removed from the city.

If you are looking in this part of the city, I can offer a clear read on what is trading and where opportunities tend to appear.

San Francisco continues to feel incredibly active this spring.

The house market remains highly competitive, with strong demand, limited inventory, and buyers moving quickly when the right home comes along. Well positioned properties are attracting serious attention and strong terms.

The condo market is also showing real momentum. More buyers are stepping back in, confidence is improving, and activity across the city feels noticeably stronger than it did a year ago.

From what I am seeing on the ground, buyers are engaged, sellers are benefiting from thoughtful pricing and presentation, and the overall energy in the market continues to build.

If you are considering buying or selling this year, preparation and timing matter more than ever.
