In this episode of The Bay Insider, Amanda and Ying are unpacking what’s really happening in San Francisco real estate right now, from new policies with big ripple effects to one of the largest industry acquisitions still awaiting approval.
After a slower summer, the market’s showing more movement. Interest rates dipped, buyers are easing back in, and single-family homes are holding steady. Condos are starting to wake up again too, especially in SOMA and Mission Bay.
The bigger story? Policy shifts. The new ADU conversion law could open the door for homeowners to sell newly built units as condos, while the city’s proposed upzoning plan may reshape the west side altogether. Both raise real questions about density, access, and how the city evolves.
And on a national scale, Compass’s move to acquire Anywhere Real Estate is sparking plenty of conversation about what’s next for the industry and for independent brokerages like ours.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
