Each summer in beautiful downtown San Rafael, we are treated to an exhilarating day of criterium bicycle racing. The Carrera de San Rafael twilight criterium 08.09.08 is almost upon us. This is a wonderful family-friendly event for bike racing enthusiasts and people watchers alike. The racing begins in the early afternoon (start time scheduled for 2:45pm) and culminates with the pro racing around 7:00pm and 8:00pm (for women and men categories respectively).
In addition to the racing, there will be an expo which is always fun to visit - get there early to pick up the free cow-bells which are generally handed out by local vendors to help spur the racers on.
While you are visiting the expo, take a moment to stop by Tam Realty located at 1007 A Street in beautiful downtown San Rafael. We are located between the expo and the mission on A Street.

The small coastal town of Bolinas in Marin County, California is home to a little over 1,200 residents. Located about 30 miles North of San Francisco on California Hwy 1, the Bolinas real estate market consists of fewer than 500 homes.
Since 2005, the logarithmic pricing trend based on price/square foot has declined annually approximately 10%. But, it should be noted that with only around 1 dozen home sales per year, charts and trends might not do a very good job of reporting the overall health of the market.
Following are the homes sold in Bolinas as reported by the Bay Area Real Estate Information Service's (BAREIS) Multiple Listing Service (MLS):
In 2007, 14 homes were sold following an average of 207 days on the market.

How can working with an EcoBroker help me?
As an EcoBroker® our training in home energy and environmental issues means:
For Sellers
We can promote the cost-saving, green features that make your home stand out.
EcoBroker® home sellers:

For Buyers
We can help you find a home that is healthier, more comfortable, and less costly to run.
EcoBroker® home buyers:
And if the home we find for you doesn't have many energy efficient features, we can show you how they may be added with special financing, tax breaks, and rebates for such things.
With EcoBroker® training, we have broadened the range of real estate opportunities we offer our clients. Whether the transaction involves environmental assessment and mitigation or the opportunity to reduce utility bills, we can help.
