In this episode of The Bay Insider, we’re diving into one of San Francisco’s most talked-about neighborhoods: Dogpatch. We sit down with locals John, Mindy, and Sam to talk about what makes Dogpatch so unique, from its industrial roots and the history of Irish Hill to its growing real estate market and close-knit feel.

We cover everything from Victorian cottages to sleek new construction condos, along with neighborhood favorites like Moshi Moshi sushi, Dogpatch Boulders, Third Rail, and Crane Cove Park. There’s also a stop at Minnesota Street Project, where art and community come together in a way that’s distinctly Dogpatch.

If you’re curious about San Francisco real estate, looking for a sunny, walkable spot to call home, or just want to understand the layers behind this evolving neighborhood, this one’s worth a listen. You’ll get local history, real estate insights, and a window into the kind of lifestyle that’s kept Dogpatch on the radar for good reason.

In this episode of The Bay Insider, we break down the numbers in the San Francisco real estate market for Q2 2025, what it all means looking back, and what we are seeing beyond the numbers.

Yes, home prices have been rising. Single-family homes that check boxes are moving fast. But the condo market? Especially in District 9: SOMA, Mission Bay, South Beach, it’s telling a bit of a stagnant story, with more inventory and a slower pace.

We talk about what’s driving the shifts: the mentality of buyers, changes in interest rates, and some of the hesitation we’re seeing in the market. Plus, we cover the new ADU condo law and how Zillow’s latest listing policy change could affect sellers and agents in San Francisco.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in 2025 or just trying to make sense of the San Francisco housing market right now, this episode is packed with insights to help break it all down.

In the final episode of our Sausalito Series on The Bay Insider, we sit down with longtime resident and fifth-generation Californian Chris Ornellas to talk about what makes Sausalito such a layered, memorable place to live.

From its roots as a Coast Miwok settlement to its Prohibition-era days as a rum-runner hideout, to the anchor out community, Sausalito has always been a little offbeat in the best way. We explore iconic neighborhoods like the sunny Banana Belt and windy Hurricane Gulch, the town’s artistic and maritime culture, and what it’s like to live just north of the Golden Gate Bridge in one of Marin County’s most scenic towns.

Chris shares local favorites like the chicken sandwich at The Joinery and pizza at Sandrino, plus insight into community events like the Sausalito Lighted Boat Parade and the Farmers Market at Dunphy Park. We also talk about the impact of Sea Trek and the Matthew Turner tall ship in keeping Sausalito’s boating culture alive.
