From doom loop to boom loop - San Francisco’s real estate market is rewriting its story. In this special episode of On Location, Rob recaps the key trends of 2025 and looks ahead to 2026. We cover the city’s cleanup wins, the AI boom, return-to-office momentum, and what these shifts mean for buyers, sellers, and investors. Plus, why upcoming AI IPOs could supercharge luxury demand—and a commercial conversion opportunity you won’t want to miss.
