In the early '50s, the first owners of the tract houses developed by Joseph Eichler paid as little as $800 down, and today they routinely sell for over $1 million, thanks to an overheated Bay Area housing market fond of Mid-Century Modernism.

What's claimed to be the first Eichler house built since 1974 will be finished soon, and Curbed National has the story of how it came to be. [Curbed National]
