Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil
  • The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

  • In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

  • Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

  • San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and Tesla: Influence of CEO's divisive behavior on company's challenges
  • The wealthiest individual globally freely voices his opinions, often sparking debate.

  • Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, has attacked U.S. election integrity, embraced White-supremacist propaganda, and accused President Joe Biden of treason.

  • Experts suggest that Musk's conduct may deter potential customers, but larger issues impact his company. With growing competition in the electric vehicle market, his polarizing personality could lead to more significant long-term damage.

  • While Musk may be damaging Tesla’s image with some consumers, the primary focus remains on the product and its dependability. Many consumers do not base their purchasing decisions on the political views of the company's leader.

Tiny Cupertino home with big yard is selling for $1.7 million.
Quick Glance: Tiny Cupertino Home with Large Yard Sells for Over $1.7 Million
  • A home in Cupertino, California, measuring less than 400 square feet is making headlines nationwide with a surprising asking price of over $1.7 million. The small one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is likened to a hotel room, too small for a regular refrigerator or stove in the kitchen.

  • The property received eight offers, all above the asking price, with the winning bidder expected to close the deal in May. The bulk of the property's value, according to co-listing agent Perez, lies in the land, offering potential for expansions or new constructions.

  • The home's location at the end of a cul-de-sac, near hiking trails and Silicon Valley's tech hubs, is crucial. Its proximity to the Los Altos Hills border, where property values start at an estimated $5 million, positively impacts surrounding communities. Cupertino city permits the owner to build a home exceeding 3,600 square feet.

  • Originally used as a hunting cabin, the house was built brick by brick in the 1940s by the family currently selling it. While the final sale price remains undisclosed, it is confirmed to be selling for "considerably over asking."
