  • Bayview-Hunters Point
    Apr 23 2026

    Bayview–Hunters Point is one of those neighborhoods that gets talked about a lot, but not always by people who actually live there. So this episode takes a step back and looks at it through a more grounded lens. Ying He and Amanda Martin are joined by Federica Lentini of La Scuola and local artist Bob Lake, both deeply connected to the community.

    They discuss how Bayview fits into the larger map, its ties to Dogpatch and Butchertown and how its shipyard history and working-class roots still show up today. There’s a mix of old and new here, and you can feel that dynamic throughout the conversation.

    They also talk through the day-to-day, local spots, creative energy, and the sense of community that keeps people rooted. It’s an honest look at what’s changing, what’s staying, and what it’s actually like to live in a part of the city that still feels like old San Francisco.

  • San Francisco Real Estate Market Update | March 2026
    Mar 26 2026

    San Francisco real estate market activity in March 2026 is showing just how competitive things have become. In this episode of The Bay Insider, we take a closer look at what’s happening across the city as low housing inventory continues to meet steady buyer demand.

    We walk through recent examples from neighborhoods like Inner Sunset, Noe Valley, Glen Park, West Portal, and Bernal Heights, where some homes are drawing significant attention and selling well above the asking price. In places like Noe Valley, price-per-square-foot numbers are pushing toward record territory, while even smaller homes in Bernal Heights are attracting strong competition.

    We also talk about navigating multiple-offer situations, preemptive offers and what this environment means for both buyers and sellers trying to make smart decisions in a fast-moving market.

    If you’re trying to understand what’s really happening in the San Francisco housing market right now, this episode offers a clear and practical snapshot based on what we’re seeing day to day.

    You can also watch the full episode on YouTube for the complete breakdown.

  • San Francisco Real Estate Market Update | February 2026
    Feb 26 2026

    San Francisco housing inventory is still low, buyer demand is steady, and competition continues to shape the market which is exactly what Amanda Martin and Ying He talk about in this episode of The Bay Insider.

    Rather than focusing on charts and heavy data, they share what they’re seeing day to day: activity at broker tours, offer timelines, pricing decisions, and how negotiations are actually playing out. Some homes are drawing multiple offers and strong overbids, while others are moving more slowly and require careful pricing.

    They break down why low inventory affects both buyers and sellers, which parts of the city feel most competitive, and how to think about strategy when conditions are active but not uniform. They also touch on the bigger factors influencing demand and what they might mean going forward.

    If you’re trying to understand what’s really happening in the San Francisco real estate market, this episode offers a clear and practical perspective.
