Tri-Cities Foreclosure Safaris – a big load of hooey
Posted on Jul 30, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
I spent the first year of my real estate career taking calls about foreclosed-upon properties. I worked at an agency which handled most of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac re-sales (Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are government-sponsored entities which loan a ton of money for the purchase of housing). I spent a great deal [...]

Ooooh – I never even thought of this! The granite on your counter could be loaded with radon, which is an odorless gas, loaded with radioactivity. I think you know by now that I am NOT an alarmist, and I despise conspiracy theories, but this is a new way to look at what is rapidly [...]
Extreme Home Makeover in the Tri-Cities?
Posted on Jul 25, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA
Rumor has it (I feel like Perez Hilton) that the ABC show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition might be coming to the Tri-Cities. Wow! This is by no means set in stone, but how cool will it be if it’s true? And why shouldn’t they come? After all – we have a local ABC affiliate, KVEW [...]

Well, if you subscribe to or make a daily trip to The Consumerist, as I’ve urged you all to do for a while now, most of this week’s recaps will be old news. Moving? Thinking of using Movearoo? That’s okay, if you don’t mind having some limited choices. The banks are failing, the banks are [...]
Phew! Looks like Tri-Cities Starbucks Fans Dodged a Bullet
Posted on Jul 18, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA
Starbucks just released a list of every store they’ll be closing, and NONE of the Tri-Cities ones are supposed to fall under the axe. As you might remember, I’m a diet Coke fan, so dwindling numbers of the coffee giant wouldn’t have affected me. BUT, because I am nothing if not cognizant of others’ needs [...]
Tri-Cities, WA Real Estate Stats through June, 2008 (looks like 2003 all over again)
Posted on Jul 17, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
I love working with a big group of numbers like we get half-way through the year. So far, in every month of ’08 (except for May), the number of sales have been within a just a few sales of 2003. January was down 21 sales but February evened it out by being up 18, and [...]
Back to Normal in Richland
Posted on Jul 16, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA
On June 5th, I wrote a post about the unusually high water we had along the Columbia River in Richland. Well, today I had a chance to get out to the park and take a picture of a much more normal water line – Compare June 5th – with today – and 6/5/08 with today [...]

A couple sales which were just waiting to close finally did this week. Kudos to Dani, Emma, Michelle, Paul and Tiffany, Keith and Sonja, and Pat for hanging in there and not making any rash decisions about moving and staying and rescinding, etc. From the minute I got into this business my least favorite aspect [...]
