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. For those #homesellers on the fence, early next year will be an ideal exit point.  With pent-up demand chasing low inventory there is only one way for prices to go, and that is up!

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.

  In the article, “Does your kid's Silicon Valley school measure up?”   Silicon Valley Business Journal outlines a major concern for many homebuyers: finding the right local school. According to the National Association of REALTORS® Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, schools were listed as the number one deciding factor for over 20% of home buyers.

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

“You need to know what you’re looking for online. If you’ve never seen these candleholders,” Wiskow says, referring to a sleek, silver-plated pair from Denmark, “you don’t know to search for them.”

“You’re going to see stuff at the show you’re not going

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…
