I’m curious if end of day sell off on $OPEN is because of this. Would be a strange reason to do so but maybe someone pissed this wasn’t built within OPEN or that OPEN didn’t invest directly and is a customer
Was just a ton of shares out of no where and this is the only thing I could possibly connect dots on
If anything this is bullish. @nejatian has tons of experienced developers coming on board and this is the type of tech that could easily be working on behind closed doors. People think out of the box
Open will develop things that will be widely used outside open just buying and selling homes. If @ericwu01 did this with not as much talent as @nejatian is building, what is open building
Not knocking Eric here, I’m simply pointing out the insane potential open has for all of real estate. Quit looking at weekly contracts and all, start looking for great tech they put out to the market

Today, I’m launching my newco, NavigateAI. We are short hundreds of thousands of skilled workers and we're on a mission to give every field worker an AI copilot, so they can build faster and better when we need it most. navigate.ai/blog/2026-05-2…

New condo sales in Metro Vancouver are tracking even lower than last year, like 50% lower. The pre-sale condo market is completely dead.

$OPEN weekly contracts for May 23: 542. Down from 655 last week.
Still 4.5x year over year. Memorial Day week typically softer for real estate broadly.
Watch the trend over the next few weeks, not any single print.

@RealOpenArmy No. No chance. That's definitely competitive info we don't want to leak.

this is a great chart. it’d be even better if we could somehow see weekly (or even monthly) conversion rates in it. @nejatian any chance?

$OPEN shipped a full ground-up rebuild of the iOS app in native SwiftUI. TestFlight beta was live April 1.
Traditional timeline for a project this scope is 12-18 months. AI-native engineering changes the math. FASTERRRRRRR

It is well documented that asking rents in Vancouver are falling.
What people are not talking about is that the quality of the average dwelling is increasing at the same time:
- age
- finishings
- management
- service
The size is…still a problem however. Don’t expect this problem to get better until multiplexes are the majority of new rental supply.

Asking rents in Vancouver down 20% from peak per @Rentalsdotca

If tipping $2 on the latte someone made for you is breaking the bank might I suggest making it your fucking self
Joe Rossignol@rsgnl
I’ve decided that I’m done tipping on counter service. So tired of hitting $2 here or $4 there on Square/Clover screens. Adds up to be such a huge waste of money just to avoid social anxiety. Life is already expensive enough!

#VanRE According to case records, the banned substance, fentanyl, was imported in 28,800 cans of beer from Canada and 22,680 bottles of kombucha from Los Angeles, for which “Mr X” who has since been identified as Singh, rented a storage house. theprint.in/india/how-a-si…

🇨🇦 Cops in Vancouver pulled this guy over and told him he had to come with them because a psychiatrist certified him under the Mental Health Act.
"What is going on? I've never been given a psych eval.
He just looked at me and said you're certified."

This is why $OPEN is shipping product every week instead of running ad campaigns. The brand work happens through every transaction.

@elonmusk Brand is just the accumulated trust earned by the product over time. That's it. All the business school logic about brand is mostly useless.
