Hinge Health CEO Daniel Perez is cashing in on San Francisco’s overbidding era.

Perez quietly sold his Noe Valley Victorian home for $7.7 million, $2.2 million over the asking price, in a deal that closed last week. The property at 1119 Castro Street was first listed just weeks ago for $5.5 million.

Embattled Austin investor and frequent topic in the Texas U.S. Senate race Nate Paul has used Chapter 11 bankruptcy to evade foreclosure on yet another property.

Paul’s World Class Holdings submitted the filing for the 11-acre Galleria Oaks shopping center on the same day that the property was set to be sold. It’s not the first time Paul used the tactic, especially given the downfall of his once-$1.2 billion portfolio. Tap the link in the comments for the full story.

Legal challengers to New York City’s rent freeze can now dig into written communications between the Mamdani administration and the Rent Guidelines Board, thanks to a ruling by a Manhattan Supreme Court judge.

Judge Brendan Lantry granted the legal team led by former Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro a “rare” discovery, saying in the ruling, “the allegations set forth by petitioners-plaintiffs have raised significant concern to this court regarding the lawfulness of the Board’s procedure.”

Find out what the ruling signals for the fate of the looming rent freeze at the link in the comments.

Atlantic City is having a renaissance. The latest sign? A 5-acre, 1,000-foot-long pier, currently listed for $85 million under Ryan Serhant.

The coastal town's Steel Pier, complete with an amusement park, a helipad, and a connection to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, was last purchased for just $4.25 million by the Catanoso family in 2011.

But recently appraised for $87 million, the property’s strength lies in what hasn’t been built yet, rather than what has. See how the chips may fall at the link in the comments.

An iconic piece of Florida architecture could be headed for the history books: the Savoy Hotel and Beach Club in Miami Beach.

Allied Partners is looking to replace the nearly century-old hotel with a 38-story residential tower. But as public outcry mounts from preservationists, elected officials, and residents, the development is unlikely to stop thanks to two controversial state laws, The Resilience and Safe Structures Act and the Live Local Act.

Real estate has spent years waiting for interest rates to come down. Instead, the Fed just raised them.

The Federal Reserve lifted its benchmark rate to 3.75%-4% Wednesday, marking its first rate hike since July 2023.

For an industry already grappling with expensive debt, stalled deals and a frozen housing market, the move raises a bigger question: How much longer will the wait for cheaper money last?

Read more at the link in comments on the Fed’s decision and what it could mean for commercial and residential real estate.
