Tri-Cities, WA Real Estate Actives, Solds & Under Contracts for April ‘07
Posted on May 24, 2007 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
Sorry I’m late with this info. I was so concerned about the whole West Richland water woes (say THAT three times fast!) thing that I didn’t get the stats out. Highlights…active listings up over any one of the previous three months and over April of last year. Solds are on track to come in close [...]
West Richland, WA Water Worries, Part 3
Posted on May 20, 2007 by Cari McGee in West Richland Real Estate
Do the folks at the Herald read this blog? They finally reprinted the map I’ve been begging for! You cannot see it in the online version of the story, which is a shame, but at least it’s there in the actual paper. It’s affecting fewer people than I thought. It looks some part of the LID [...]
Thursday Night Movie
Posted on May 17, 2007 by Cari McGee in Buyers, Real Estate Industry, Sellers
When I was a student at Pepperdine University, we had the Thursday Night Movie. Admission was $1.00 per person, or $1.00 per couple. You’d find a lot of guys hanging out around the entrance to Elkins Auditorium looking for someone suitable to grab and take in as their “date”. After all, you could save .50 and [...]
Aaaaaargh! West Richland, WA Water Worries, Part II
Posted on May 12, 2007 by Cari McGee in West Richland Real Estate
Saw this this morning. Not happy about it. At least we have a better idea of the true boundaries. Now it makes sense that the Polo Club is affected, as it is in within the area mentioned in the article. Maybe I’m spolied by the Internet and the nifty graphics that appear alongside most news stories. [...]
West Richland, WA Water Worries
Posted on May 11, 2007 by Cari McGee in West Richland Real Estate
We’ve got us some angry homeowners… Yesterday’s Tri-City Herald brought us this story… And today’s story told us how last night’s meeting turned out… Here’s a hint…not well! Today’s paper discusses the huge assessment assigned to Polo Club property owners (mostly 1 acre+ tracts), but yesterday’s article places the eastern boundary of the irrigation district [...]
Top Five Reasons Real Estate is like “The Young and the Restless”
Posted on May 9, 2007 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career, Real Estate Industry
Number One… There’s a whole lot of screwing around going on. Because there can be a whole lot of unaccounted-for time. No one ever seems to have to be anywhere at a particular hour. Plus, people love to make double entendres around the words ‘negotiation’, ‘inspection’, and ‘offer’, which naturally leads to other activities. Number [...]
April Stats (just a few)
Posted on May 7, 2007 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
This isn’t the big stat roll-out with the graphs and charts and accompanying PDF file. This is the Tri-City Association of Realtors stat break-down. In April, 21 more active listings than April ’06, but Jan-April, YOY, we’re down 3.9% in listings. Pending sales are down less than a percent, so we’ll call it equal, but final [...]
In the pursuit of home
Posted on May 6, 2007 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career, Real Estate Industry, Tri-Cities Market
I love the unspoken rules that exist in various communities. I love that there is honor even among thieves. I was watching the Yankees vs. Mariners game today and found out something interesting. Josh Phelps, first basemen for the Yankees, plowed into Mariners catcher Kenji Johjima (totally mowed him down, went out of his way [...]
