OpenAI and Anthropic stocks make it to the listing of three-bedroom luxury homes in San Francisco

San Francisco is know for wild real estate trends, and a newly renovated luxury home has hit the market with a ‘different’ payment option that could only happen in AI-dominated city: the owner is accepting AI stock instead of cash if someone wants to buy the house. The listing for the three-bedroom house in the city's trendy Duboce Triangle neighborhood clearly spells out the deal in a single line: “Anthropic or OpenAI stock will be considered as payments.”The house is officially on the market for $2,995,000, and according to a report by Business Insider, within 24 hours of the listing going live, the response was overwhelming. “My phone has been blowing up. It seems to be something that's very exciting for people,” said real estate agent Rachel Swann.The report says that the seller of the 2,495-square-foot home is a local high-end luxury developer who happens to be a massive believer in the future of artificial intelligence (AI). The idea for the unique payment plan came after waves of tech employees and early investors kept turning up to open houses. Moreover, these prospective buyers are technically millionaires on paper. Also, Anthropic and OpenAI are still private companies preparing to go public, which means their massive wealth is currently locked up in “illiquid” stock that they cannot easily cash out at a traditional bank.The property itself features premium luxury amenities, including 10-foot ceilings, custom cabinetry, remote-controlled solar skylights and a deep-soaking tub. But in San Francisco's hyper-competitive market, the unique payment option is the real crowd-pleaser.San Francisco real estate has exploded, driven by skyrocketing AI company valuations. Due to this, local home prices have surged 19% year-over-year. According to Zillow data, the average home is now sold in 14 days, frequently sparking fierce bidding wars that drive final prices way over the initial ask. Coming to the rental market, an average one-bedroom apartment is said to be available at $4,000 a month.
