I can already tell from the first episode, there will be a ton of cheesy acting. I liked Million dollar Listing NYC, before all the stupid plots started. I feel this show is already going that way. I wish they would just do the listings, and cut out all the B.S. fake acting. JMHO......

I've not seen the show before, but living in SF, this SF version may be interesting.
The real estate market is completely nuts here.

Understatement! I don't even think 'completely nuts' is describes it well enough.

It's gone bonkers!

That's reality TV for you. I don't really enjoy reality TV, but I liked Million Dollar Listing NYC because of the RE aspect. It was pretty interesting.... then things went down hill. The final straw was when Ryan (I think?) was going to show everybody the other agent's gay porn movie. I couldn't take it anymore after that.

I love this show, can't wait to watch SF tonight.

Real estate here is completely affordable.

Million dollar listing San Francisco

Never understood cost of living in some places.

Heck a 1 Million Dollar House where I live would get you this: (and this is in the Country Club section of the county.) 1 Mil in other places could get you bigger and more land.

That one is 8 bed, 3 acres and a golf course. Unlike New York, you get your own free garage lol.




You are right though, I watched that show until drama took over.

A home like that, here in the city of San Fran, which would likely be Sea Cliff, would be $20 million easily.

Yea, and you wouldn't get a yard like that, either.

Just watched the SF episode, my wife and I were poking fun of it because both of us have been here for quite some time and have seen this bubble before... more than once... and have watched a lot of people, friends etc., crash and burn in the worst of ways on more than a few occassions.

Although the tech market is super hot right now, it's not as glamorous or realistic as portrayed on this show. Unless you're a founder, co-founder, or the first 3 employees of a start-up, that's gone full #@@@$$ard, are you going to see $$$. 90% of startups fail. And even if you're employee #4 or 5, you'd be very lucky to get about 10,000 shares. And if you're lucky enough to ride it all the way, with the odds in your favor, and ride a company public, those 10,000 shares at $50 really isn't that much. And even at $100 it's still isn't going to get you a fixer-upper here. Just saying for some perspective. Because people outside of San Francisco think everyone is striking gold and getting rich overnight. Or we're all soaked in cash. Just isn't factual at all.

What's really pushed the market up to new heights is all the hot money out of Asia. I know three homes in my neighborhood that were bought well above asking which have sat completely empty for over a year. The buyers painted them, did some yard work, and closed them up. Waiting for their investment to rise. And I'm telling you, most of the "tech" buyers out there cannot afford most of these homes and are completely house-poor. And the bubble will burst again... and again. It's just life here in the SF.
