Parade Re-Cap

Posted on Oct 5, 2009 by Cari McGee in Buyers, Pasco Real Estate, Tri-Cities Market

Every year there is a house (or two) that grabs everyone’s attention and that people talk about when they’re in the next house, or a few houses down the line. This year that house was house #2, Infinity Home’s veritable palace in Pasco.  It has travertine tile, honed in the foyer and kitchen, polished in [...]

Posted on Mar 17, 2009 by Cari McGee in Kennewick Real Estate, Pasco Real Estate, Richland Real Estate, West Richland Real Estate

This coming Sunday, March 22, all of the agents at Windermere Real Estate (the brokerage where I work) will be sitting Open Houses in our twice-a-year event called the Open House Extravaganza. We’ll be holding open over 250 houses, which is more than half our inventory. Our closest competitive agency doesn’t even have that many [...]

Pasco's Foreclosure "Problem"

Posted on Jan 8, 2009 by Cari McGee in Pasco Real Estate

The Tri-City Herald reported today that Pasco was granted about $400,000 from the federal government to help with foreclosures.  Psssst – here’s the thing – it’s not really an issue. As the city manager, Gary Crutchfield said, It’s a good opportunity to address the relatively small problem that we have… Pasco was the only one [...]

Western White House in Pasco, WA

Posted on Oct 29, 2008 by Cari McGee in Pasco Real Estate

I was previewing properties in Pasco the other day and I spotted the perfect spot for Tuesday’s Presidential election winner to build vacation quarters. Because even if Obama wins, it would be a great ironic twist, don’t you think? There are 11 lots available at the site, 1/2 acre each, so that means the Pres. [...]

Pasco Real Estate- Busting at the Seams and a Bust for Sellers

Posted on Mar 27, 2008 by Cari McGee in Pasco Real Estate, Tri-Cities Market

The Tri-City Herald (along with the Associated Press) reported some pretty cool stats about Pasco and the surrounding environs in Franklin County.  It’s the fastest growing area in the state of Washington.  Awesome! That’s just one part of the story, though.  Maybe some of those people are renting and not buying because the absorption rates tell [...]

Tremendous Growth for Pasco, WA

Posted on Jun 29, 2007 by Cari McGee in Pasco Real Estate, Tri-Cities, WA

in ’06, but it didn’t even grow as much as it had in ’02,’03,’04 and ’05!  Fantastic! Last year, Pasco’s population grew 5.5%. Total Tri-Cities population now stands at 168,650.  West Richland adds another 10,000+ people to the mix.  My favorite quote from the Tri-City Herald’s story is from Dean Schau, our local doom-and-gloom economist (yes, I know [...]

Buyer Beware

Posted on Apr 11, 2007 by Cari McGee in Buyers, Pasco Real Estate, Real Estate Industry, Richland Real Estate, Tri-Cities Market, Tri-Cities, WA

Probably like most Americans of a certain age, I first heard the phrase caveat emptor in the Brady Bunch episode in which Greg buys a car he was told would be easy to fix up but isn’t.  Like “Find out what you do best and do your best with it”, “caveat emptor…let the buyer beware” is [...]
