Right now, everyone is moving to San Francisco with the recent AI boom
0:04
And here I am in one of the favorite neighborhoods of all techies and true San Franciscans, Hayes Valley
0:12
The house that we're doing here is one of my favorite of the seasons
0:15
The big question is, could this be the next hacker house? You might be asking yourself why
0:22
Because Hayes Valley is now being dubbed Cerebral Valley. Right now, everyone is moving to San Francisco with the recent AI boom
0:36
And here I am in one of the favorite neighborhoods of all techies and true San Franciscans, Hayes Valley
0:43
The house that we're doing here is one of my favorite of the seasons
0:47
It's a very typical San Francisco condo. It's a two-bedroom, one-bath. It's great for younger couples, married couples, couples, singles, whoever
0:59
But I have a little secret for you. Do you want to know what it is? So this area in Hayes Valley was known, you know, for the modern structures, the gorgeous
1:11
like Edwardian and Victorians, amazing boutiques, restaurants. But now it's be called Cerebral Valley
1:23
Our property here on Hayes Street has an asking price of $1.25 million
1:29
And for me personally, and given the San Francisco market and the hype with Hayes Valley and its amazing location
1:36
I kind of feel like this is a steal San Francisco is a real estate market all of its own I mean there nothing quite like it But in Cerebral Valley these homes are more than just properties They are investments in the
1:51
future. Younger couples today and younger buyers are really looking for turnkey homes. A lot of
1:59
them don't want to have to worry about the stress of renovations, trying to navigate those things
2:04
especially if you're a first-time home buyer. There's a lot of nerves and emotions that are always wrapped up in that
2:10
and understandably, because it's a huge deal. Hey, babe. Did you see that Elon Musk is announcing a new robot
2:21
I haven't seen, but I'm sure you're going to tell me about it, right? Yes, so he's announcing a new robot today
2:27
Okay. And Tesla invited me to the event. So the announcement is today
2:32
We might go to try the Cybertruck 2 that I know you wanted to try
2:37
So my question for you is this. Yes. Do you want to go with me
2:41
Absolutely. Let's do this. Oh, that was easy. Are you ready? Why
2:45
It's now. Oh, let's go. Let's go. Go. Go. Because you can go. Sorry, baby
2:49
Stay there. Stay there. Bye-bye. so things they like to look for are finished kitchens bathrooms floors if they don't like
3:03
the paint color they can always change it but those big ticket pieces are something that they're
3:08
always looking for to make sure they're done you might be asking yourself we're here in cerebral
3:13
valley we've been hearing lots of chatter and news articles about startups utilizing these large
3:19
Victorians or some of the more modern structures homes as hacker houses That the coin term that we been given it Imagine this you wake up in the morning you have breakfast with your team you coding lunch coding dinner and a movie and you haven even left your own home
3:36
And my thoughts on this is, I don't think our Hayes property has what it takes to be a hacker
3:42
house. It's gorgeous, it's amazing, but it's only a two bedroom, one bath. Normally, those houses
3:48
like to be at least six bedrooms and maybe three to five bathrooms. Now that we're on the subject
3:54
of talking about hacker houses and startups and those kinds of things, a house that comes to mind
3:59
for me is one of our biggest properties of the season on Masonic. I think that house would be
4:07
the perfect hacker house. It has six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a garden apartment. I mean
4:13
there are so many areas that you could put your computers and get to work. Something that I always
4:18
like to say, especially when we're looking at houses and those kinds of things is live here
4:23
play here, think here. So the house was actually in pretty great condition. The thing that I would
4:32
always say to clients is let's do the things that buyers don't want to do. Could they have put it on
4:37
the market as is? Absolutely. But this buyer profile is someone that is a little bit younger
4:45
hip. You know, we want to make sure that we're checking off all those boxes. So what we did
4:50
is we decided to do the floors, painting. We ended up actually redoing the whole kitchen
4:56
Did we have to? We didn't. But kitchens, bathrooms, floors and walls, everybody always wants to
5:02
get redone When you have a house that essentially moving ready the budgets can always vary You know we do live in San Francisco We do live in California Everything tends to cost more more more You can expect
5:13
with all in, including staging, renovations, updates, a house like this can cost anywhere
5:19
in between $40,000 to about $65,000, $70,000 to invest into it. But that includes all new renovated
5:27
flooring, all new lighting, fresh paint on everything, new countertops. I mean, it's kind
5:34
of the works. And on top of that, the staging is included. One of the key elements in this house
5:40
that we planned was the floors are a really gorgeous rosewood, which is kind of unheard of
5:46
here in the city. So, and it also tends to be a very expensive wood and it's stunning. So what we
5:52
is we wanted to incorporate that tone, that color into a lot of our fixtures and finishes
5:58
The rosewood tends to be a little bit darker once it's been refinished
6:02
and it creates like a really nice, cozy, warm feel. So we incorporated that in with the dining table
6:08
that we're bringing in, some of the credenzas. We wanted it to feel luxurious and hip and modern
6:14
but yeah, we kept the rosewood. We love it. Okay, so you like better the robot, the Tesla bot, or the cyber truck
6:26
Definitely the cyber truck. So it's true, this house might not be the next huge hacker house, but let me tell you this
6:42
this property has already sold. So I guess it's time for me to take you to our next project
