In this week’s Bay Area Real Estate Update, Spencer provides his monthly real estate market update and reviews a Goldman Sachs report about which four US cities will see a housing market crash reminiscent of 2008’s crash. He also examines the historical cost of living in the Bay Area – has it always been so high? Why are rent prices now increasing in the Bay Area? Also in the news: a $1 billion real estate deal that’s helped investors score local properties; Amazon finds a buyer for its Bay Area office campus; TikTok’s ByteDance moves into new San Jose offices; Steph Curry joins the Bay Area’s anti-MFH development movement; and a pre-sale home reno startup raises eight figures in Series A funding.

Bay Area Real Estate Market Update January 2023 | Home Prices Decline in the Bay Area?28 Jan 202300:27:04

In this week’s Bay Area Real Estate Update, Spencer talks about San Francisco’s recent spike in incoming workers, good news considering the city was recently ranked last in the US for downtown post-pandemic economic recovery. The question is, because 2023’s tech layoffs are already outpacing the worst of 2022’s layoffs, where are these incoming workers finding jobs? Meanwhile, the Bay Area leads California in terms of home price declines (meaning there are opportunities to buy for less here) as ultra-luxury buyers return to the market. It’s not all bad news: the Bay Area remains the top VC market in the country, Google leased land in San Francisco for top dollar, and big new housing developments all ensure that as a comfortable place to live while earning a high salary and experiencing outstanding cultural amenities, outdoor activities, and professional growth opportunities, the Bay Area is hard to beat.


Listen to this live Q & A with Bay Area real estate guru Spencer Hsu to learn what will happen to Bay Area housing before the media reports it! And if you ever plan on buying or selling a home in the Bay Area, you'll want to watch this update.

Bay Area Real Estate Update January 2023 | Demand for Home Loans on the Rise?21 Jan 202300:30:56

In this week’s Bay Area Real Estate Update, Spencer will talk about how lower mortgages and higher inventory have boosted demand for home loans in 2023, on the heels of a mortgage volume collapse in Q4 of 2022. HousingWire agrees, saying mortgage rates and inflation have both peaked – good news for both buyers and sellers as we head deeper into the new year. He’ll also cover why San Jose stayed strong during the pandemic and the WFH era while San Francisco receded. Other newsworthy items include the Bay Area edging towards a home-building slowdown, a China-based company selling a commercial site in San Jose, and Google salvaging older downtown building as part of its Downtown West San Jose project.

Bay Area Market Update December 2022 | Home Prices to Decline in 2023?10 Dec 202200:24:11

Home prices to decline in 2023?

Are home prices set to decline in 2023 in the Bay Area? We’ll review the report by the San Francisco Chronicle on the matter.

Meanwhile, Oracle ditches more of its Bay Area office space and doubles down on Nashville and Austin. Meta is also decreasing its Bay Area office space. And will Salesforce, the city’s biggest renter, eliminate more of its downtown office space? What effect will this have on the commercial and residential markets here?

Plus, after a 12-year battle, one San Francisco housing project moves forward. And what would you think about buying a home with your platonic best friend? For some Bay Area residents, it’s the way to long-term equity.

Listen to this live Q & A with Bay Area real estate guru Spencer Hsu to learn what will happen to Bay Area housing before the media reports it! And if you ever plan on buying or selling a home in the Bay Area, you'll want to watch this update.

Bay Area Real Estate Market Update | November 2022 Close Look Into the Data03 Dec 202200:47:00

Time for a close look into the November data!

What else is shaking up the real estate industry in November? The US government will backstop million dollar mortgages in high-cost markets, meaning you could soon secure a million-dollar loan with as little as three percent down.

Plus, billionaire California family buys San Jose office buildings? Oracle dumping more of its Bay Area office space? And which Bay Area ZIP code was named the priciest place to buy a home in America?

Bay Area Market Update September 24, 2022 | FED Hikes Rates to Highest Level Since 200824 Sep 202200:25:56

The central bank took its federal funds to the highest it has been since early 2008, following the third consecutive 0.75 percentage point move. Is the fed’s Jay Powell’s attempt to fight inflation ‘too little, too late’? Meanwhile, the Bay Area biotech market has landed one of its largest deals to date. Countless developments throughout the Bay Area market continue to expand their reach.

Plus, Compass announces another round of layoffs in midst of the housing market slowdown. Will we be seeing more layoffs throughout the Bay Area as the market continues to shift?

I'll answer these questions and more LIVE this Saturday at 10 am PT. Ask me anything!

— My Background — 

Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years in Startup Technology Sales before becoming a full-time Realtor. Having personally invested and done renovations in the Bay Area, I wanted to help busy colleagues in the Bay Area technology industry find their dream home by leveraging tech, data and insights. I specialize in educating my clients on the process of buying, selling, and investing in the Bay Area. I worked with 57 families in 2021 buy and sell locally for over $80MM which helped me become a top 1% Realtor in the Bay in record breaking time!

Looking forward to helping you!
