The artificial intelligence boom is reshaping the Bay Area housing market, not just in rising home prices but in the amount of cash buyers are putting down on homes. A new report from Realtor.com found that luxury homebuyers in the Bay Area are continuing to make unusually large down payments even as mortgage rates have dropped, a trend that researchers say reflects the growing influence of AI-generated wealth.
