Selected Economic Factors: Stock Markets & Unicorn IPOs

 
Selected Economic Factors

Stock Markets & Unicorn IPOs

A wild ride in stock prices, particularly in high-tech: Prices soared to new peaks in summer-early autumn 2018, plunged drastically in Q4 2018, and then saw the biggest Q1 jump in 20 years. Huge amounts of wealth appearing, disappearing and reappearing - a major influence on consumer confidence and home-buyer demand. 
 
A new surge of large, high-tech unicorn IPOs - mostly of firms headquartered in SF - has just started to roll out. IPOs have historically created vast quantities of new wealth in the Bay Area, though the magnitude of the effect of this new wave on the SF housing market is yet unknown - but currently fiercely disputed. Anecdotally, there have certainly been reports of buyers moving more quickly to beat the "rush of new millionaires" and of sellers waiting to list in order to catch the rush (see New Listing chart above).
