This month\u2019s historic, $85 billion SpaceX <\/a>initial public offering is expected to drive a luxury housing boom in Los Angeles, where Elon Musk\u2019s rocket company has a large base of operations.<\/p>\n

The stock sale, which temporarily made Musk the world\u2019s first trillionaire<\/a>, is projected to mint at least 4,000 new millionaires between current and former employees.<\/p>\n

Within this group, about 400 could net more than $100 million<\/a> from the stock offering, the largest in U.S. history. <\/p>\n

All that new wealth is already driving interest in luxury home purchases<\/a>, often by the beach, around Los Angeles and the surrounding counties, realtors told The Los Angeles Times.<\/a> That\u2019s good news for sellers and state tax rolls, but it comes with complications.<\/p>\n

\u201cA place like Manhattan Beach<\/a> has roughly 11,000 housing units, so there could be a pretty significant impact if a lot of those folks decide that they want to go buy houses in those neighborhoods that have such a supply constraint,\u201d UCLA Anderson School of Management lecturer Paul Habibi told the newspaper. \u201cThose markets are already among the priciest in Southern California and I can only imagine that will continue with this new wealth creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others told the paper they\u2019ve been hearing from buyers tied to SpaceX seeking beachside dream homes with pools or spreads with numerous bedrooms.<\/p>\n

The company, which has offices in Hawthorne, California, is also expected to drive a real estate buying spree<\/a> in South Texas, which is home to SpaceX\u2019s Starbase complex. <\/p>\n

These SpaceX hubs aren\u2019t the only places experiencing a sudden, tech-inflected wave of real estate activity. <\/p>\n

The artificial intelligence boom is driving what one real estate agent called a \u201cthermonuclear wealth explosion<\/a>\u201d in the San Francisco housing market, The Independent previously reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

The upcoming IPOs of Anthropic and OpenAI are expected to further increase competition for luxury homes.<\/p>\n

In San Francisco, which has long struggled with affordable housing, the median home price topped $2 million<\/a> in March, and bidders regularly pay more than $1 million above listing prices for houses that, in most other places, would be unremarkable single-family homes with a few bedrooms and small backyard.<\/p>\n

The city has both the highest and fastest-rising home prices in the country, according to Redfin<\/a>, while the median monthly price of a one-bedroom apartment is hovering around $4,000.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":525136,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[61,60,82,247],"class_list":["post-525135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-science","tag-space"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=525135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/525135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/525136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=525135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=525135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=525135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
