There\u2019s a new gold rush mentality sweeping the Bay Area, but this time people aren\u2019t panning for gold \u2014 they\u2019re chasing OpenAI and Anthropic stock. As OpenAI<\/a> and Anthropic<\/a> move closer to potential IPOs, Silicon Valley is bracing for a wave of newly minted millionaires<\/a>. And some San Francisco homeowners are trying to get in before that happens, according to The New York Times<\/a>. <\/p>\n

When real estate investor Nima Gabbay listed his three-bedroom San Francisco home for nearly $3 million, he added an unusual offer: He would accept shares of OpenAI or Anthropic as payment. Two OpenAI employees reportedly tried to make a deal, including one who offered more than $1 million over asking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a bit of a gold rush situation right now in San Francisco,\u201d Gabbay told The New York Times.<\/p>\n

San Francisco home sales above $10 million have doubled over the past six months, and one home recently sold for $15 million, nearly twice its asking price.<\/p>\n

Some sellers believe AI stock could appreciate faster than real estate itself. One Sonoma County homeowner even offered a $500,000 discount off his asking price if a buyer paid with Anthropic shares.<\/p>\n
