The Boyenga Team | Silicon Valley REALTORS®
Silicon Valley Real Estate Blog

The Silicon Valley Real Estate market is picking up, after a typical summer slump, and less than stellar early fall #homebuyers are back again out in full force. The Boyenga Team expect's an extremely strong Q1.

As for the homebuyers expect multiple offers on most of the new inventory coming to market.  One positive for homebuyers is that we do not expect the same amount of market exuberance that we saw in Spring of 2015, we still do expect many homes in the more affordable price points to reach new highs.

This Week’s S.F. Modernism Show Features
Collectables, Furnishings and Fun Not Found Online

Shopping online for mid-century modern furnishings can be easy, Mark Wiskow says, and can save the buyer a few bucks.

But, he says, the San Francisco Modernism Show, which runs Saturday August 13 and Sunday August 14 at the Concourse Exhibition Center (Eighth and Brannan streets, San Francisco), will allow fans to really learn about what's out there—something that’s harder to do online.

Lucie Stern Theatre, 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto
Through August 13
$19-$69

Fly By Night,  a world premier musical at Theatre Works by Kim Rosenstock, Michael Mitnick and Will Connolly, directed by Bill Fennelly, is an enchanting and thought provoking night out.

In a charming, darkly comic rock musical…
