12 modest but insanely expensive homes for sale in Silicon Valley

In Silicon Valley, the more suburban area south of San Francisco, house-hunters find a confluence of a mild climate, a strong economy with high-paying jobs, and a tech sector unlike any in the world.

The environment attracts a competitive housing market, where it's not uncommon for prospective owners to place bids well above listing prices, often for more than $100,000 over asking.

We took to Zillow to find the most modest but expensive houses on the market - under 2,000 square feet selling for over $1.1 million. They could be all yours, if you've got the funds to spare.
