I completely missed going to Dreams Happen this year (my kids were thrilled I didn't torture them again by dragging them to the mall to look at roped off playhouses they can't play with). Below are more details from the event with my favorite houses. You can see my coverage of previous years of this event here.
Since 1993, Stanford Shopping Center has co-sponsored and produced the biennial Dreams Happen event benefiting Rebuilding Together Peninsula—a non-profit organization dedicated to rehabilitating the homes and community facilities of neighbors in need from Sunnyvale to Daly City. Playhouses have sold for amounts ranging from $13,000 to $101,000. Bidding typically begins at $5,000.
