Links Back to the Week That Was 4/27

Posted on Apr 27, 2008 by in Week That Was

What a fantastic weekend, weather-wise! In the 70′s, blue skies studded with puffy-white clouds. Perfect property-showing weather. Look, look!  Move into your new house and decorate it with this groovy stuff! The age-old question (no, not THAT one!) – buy or rent?  Looks like renters will pay a pretty penny here AND in the Seattle [...]

Writing a Real Estate Offer in the Tri-Cities, WA

Posted on Apr 24, 2008 by in Buyers

I have a client searching for the perfect house for her, her family, and her dog. We recently discussed the offer process… “How much less do I offer?” she asked me. Red flags waved in front of my eyes – “What do you mean?” I asked. “What’s the number less I offer?” she queried. ” [...]

Some of these houses I understand their inclusion on the list of just awesomely bad celebrity homes, but some aren’t all that bad! One day I’ll post a picture of the ‘luncheon china’ I inherited from my paternal grandmother. Imagine a time in America’s not-too-distant past when one invited other women over for lunch (not [...]

Earth Day will be belatedly celebrated in West Richland with the Annual Clean-up Day on Saturday, April 19th. Household garbage can be completely disposed of at Enterprise Middle School (5200 Paradise Way) from 8-3 on Saturday. For free!

Tri-Cities Radio Winner

Posted on Apr 14, 2008 by in Tri-Cities, WA

I grew up in the Los Angeles area, and when there would be a contest on one of the local radio stations, they’d take an answer from “caller 56″ or “caller 72″. My brother grew up to work in radio. His first on-air job was in Lubbock, TX. I remember he told me he used [...]

This is my favorite, my favorite, my favorite find of the week!!  TEAL – the Typo Eradication Advancement League.  They’re currently on a trek across the US, correcting typos with their handy-dandy typo correction kit.  I love it!  Perhaps once an English major, ALWAYS an English major?! And I kept choosing the wrong curtain here.  [...]

Tri-Cities Real Estate: 2007 Year-in-Review

Posted on Apr 12, 2008 by in Tri-Cities Market, Tri-Cities, WA

I’m a sucker for those end-of-year review shows and you can imagine that as 1999 drew to a close I was even more excited because there were end-of-decade and end-of century and end-of-millenium shows GALORE! Our office produces a Tri-Cities Real Estate Year-In-Review every year, and I love taking a look at the big picture [...]

Tri-Cities Housing Stats – March ‘08

Posted on Apr 8, 2008 by in Tri-Cities Market

The trend continues, and snow had nothing to do with it. We’re down in under contracts, down in closed sales and down in a little thing we like to call ‘price’, as compared to last year. We’ve got a little more inventory, too, so again the law of supply and demand comes into play. The [...]
