Who buys in SoMa, San Francisco?

AI founders who want sub-10-minute office proximity, investors seeking the city's highest rental yield, early-career tech buyers starting at the $750K–$1.2M condo tier, and buyers optimizing for career flexibility over neighborhood character.

How AI founders are using RSUs to move from SoMa to Pacific Heights in 2026.

What are SoMa real estate market dynamics in 2026?

SoMa condo inventory has tightened significantly as new construction permits slow. Loft conversions and live-work units carry a premium of 8–15% over comparable new construction. The AI-era employer cluster has added structural demand that insulates the neighborhood from the broader downtown office vacancy narrative.
