Well, it was an abbreviated business week for all but retailers. My kids had the whole week off – I used to have to go to school through Wednesday of Thanksgiving week when I was a kid (and yes, I walked uphill both ways through the snow in southern California, too). I’ll be amazed if [...]
Tri-Cities Black Friday Bucks National Trend
Posted on Nov 29, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA
And no, it wasn’t solely because of me! Although I WAS out there at 6 am, in the line at Kohls which snaked as far throughout the store as last year’s line (which I was also in for about two hours). I also went to Target and to the mall for a tiny bit. For [...]
Thanks, Spark

Nothing real estate-related today…simply reflecting on how thankful I am for having my health, my husband and two children and our house and more than enough food for the table. God is good. This is my first Thanksgiving without my dad. I hadn’t spent Thanksgiving with him since 1990, so it’s not like the day [...]

During the seemingly never-ending presidential campaign, Mr. Obama made a visit the town of Pendleton, OR. He was asked a local question and was unable to give an informed answer. That’s ok, he couldn’t possibly know about every little thing, I would definitely cut him some slack. In fact, it’s probably a good thing that [...]

Well, Hallelujah! Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced this week that no one who was suffering foreclosure due to default on one of THEIR loans would be kicked out of their house over the holidays. That’s cool. Windermere.com unveiled a new look. Very streamlined and super easy. I made a guest appearance on another blog. [...]
Tri-Cities Real Estate Market: October 2008 Stats
Posted on Nov 18, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
One of my favorite agents here, who is prone to hyperbole and an occasional negative remark or two, would call October a “train wreck of a month”. But it really wasn’t pretty so I get that, actually. There were 155 sales in October of 2008 in the Tri-Cities market. We have to go back to [...]

This is an ‘all good news’ post. Jobs for our area, evidence of money still being spent, a bunch of stories that indicate that the Tri-Cities is one of the best spots to be in during this economic storm. Areva has something for us, afterall. People are remodeling their homes instead of buying a new [...]

I had a GREAT week – well, kind of. As you might recall, last Sunday was my 17th wedding anniversary. Not long after I wrote last weeks’ post, hubby took a nap due to the flu he had contracted (so no romantic dinner out), and daughter was hit by a horrific ear infection which necessitated [...]
