Real estate agents have predicted an influx of new millionaires to San Francisco and warned it will make it almost impossible for more modest earners to purchase property.
As the likes of Uber, Lyft, Airbnb, Pinterest, Slack, and Postmates reportedly plan initial public offerings (IPOs) this year, it could mean increased wealth in the city of the companies' headquarters.
While it would give investors their first chance to buy stakes in ride-hailing and could also raise billions for the likes of Uber and Lyft, allowing them to expand in a so-far unprofitable market, it's not all good news for those in the northern California city.

The New York Times reports real estate agent Deniz Kahramaner, who specializes in data analytics at Compass said one-bedroom condos worth less than $1million and single family homes selling for under $3million will be a thing of the past in less than five years.
He said the latter could reach an average of $5million.
'All cash. These are all cash buyers,' he said. 'It's just going to be astounding.'
CEO Dara Khosrowshahi joined Uber in August 2017 and previously said he was hoping for an IPO in the first half of 2019.
Uber's recent valuation was astonishingly high at $76billion for a private company.
Reuters reported Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs were likely to get the lead roles as underwriters which could value Uber as high as $120billion.
Even if its valuation only tops $100billion, Uber's IPO would be the biggest ever in the technology sector – more than General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles combined.

Those keen to stay in San Francisco are reportedly rushing to buy now but many of those fortunate enough to already own property are taking homes off the market to sell for much more at a later date.
'Even if just half the IPOs happen, there's going to be ten thousand millionaires overnight,' Sotheby's real estate agent, Herman Chan, told the Times. 'People are like, "I'm not going to sell till next year, because there are going to be bajillionaires everywhere left and right".'
The publication stated that while Facebook and Google going public resulted in high earners spreading throughout the Bay area, the new set of companies are concentrated in San Francisco, making an already very expensive city even more costly.
San Francisco's average monthly rent on a one-bedroom apartment is in the region of $3,550 to $3,690.
Compass states 5,644 properties were sold in the city last year, 2,208 of those were single family properties and software employees represented more than half of the buyers.

But a private wealth adviser at Citrine Capital has warned budding young millionaires to be wise with their spending, sending a reminder that even Uber has proved popular but unprofitable.
'A lot of them are young — they've just seen their valuations going up forever and they don't really understand that tech stocks are volatile,' Ryan S. Cole said about employees at the start-ups.
Since 2010, Uber has raised approximately $18billion from investors but is struggling with slowing growth.
In the third quarter of 2018 they lost $1.07 billion despite gross bookings taking in $12.7billion. Its revenue for the quarter was $2.95billion, up 5 percent from the second quarter when bookings had grown by 6 percent.
Uber is expected to outdo the likes of fellow Silicon Valley brands such as Airbnb Inc and workplace messaging firm Slack.
Property sellers are taking homes off market to sell for more later but experts warn new young millionaires to be careful with their spending as Uber isn't yet profitable and shares could drop
A promising outlook has prompted electric bike company New Wheel to dramatically increase their number of bikes favored for getting around by those who work in the technology industry.
The move is despite city officials, eager to do something about the electric scooters issue. They are sending cease-and-desist letters and are planning to require permits soon, while impounding any that they say are parked illegally.
On the other hand, some excited about the prospect of earning big have purchased more extravagant ways to get around.
'They shouldn't be buying boats,' Cole continued. 'We see a little bit of that.'
Private wealth adviser, Jonathan K. DeYoe, told the Times the new millionaires will really highlight the difference between rich and poor in the city known for its homeless crisis, with 7,499 people estimated to be on the streets in 2017.
DeYoe said: 'This kind of wealth is very visible.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
