“In San Jose’s tight Eichler market, demand continues to outpace supply — especially in Cambrian, where renovated mid-century modern homes are sparking bidding wars and going pending in under two weeks. Fairglen remains steady at the top of the market, while Cambrian’s Fairglen Addition is surging ahead with strong year-over-year appreciation. For sellers, it’s prime time. For buyers, it’s all about preparation — and partnering with true Eichler experts who understand these architectural icons inside and out.”

"Silicon Valley’s top Eichler micro-markets—Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, and select San Jose tracts—continue to outperform thanks to their rare blend of architectural authenticity, school-district strength, and long-term lifestyle appeal. With limited inventory, strong preservation culture, and rising demand from design-oriented buyers, these neighborhoods have become the gold standard for mid-century modern living. Guided by the Boyenga Team’s unmatched Eichler expertise, buyers and sellers gain strategic insights into remodel levels, authenticity scoring, and future value potential across each micro-market."

Eichler homes aren’t just structures — they’re California’s mid-century modern soul. The Boyenga Team’s Eichler Authenticity Scale reveals how remodel choices shape not only architectural integrity but also market value and buyer psychology. From untouched time-capsule originals to heavily altered transformations, this scale helps homeowners, buyers, and agents understand exactly what makes an Eichler magical — and what happens when that magic is preserved, reinterpreted, or erased. No matter where a home falls on the spectrum, the right knowledge unlocks smarter decisions, better pricing, and a deeper appreciation for Silicon Valley’s most iconic modernist neighborhoods.

Eichler homes come alive after sunset — iconic glass walls glow, atriums turn into lantern-lit sanctuaries, and mid-century silhouettes shine against the evening sky. It’s the kind of visual storytelling the Boyenga Team uses to sell not just a home, but the dream lifestyle that comes with it.
