Personal Business Year-end Re-cap
Posted on Dec 30, 2008 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Career
The latest issue of The Real Estate Book, which is a publication that features local homes for sale, has several pages of agents trumpeting their total sales for the year. Another agent and I joked that we had “missed the memo” stating that this was the year to advertise this way. Seriously, it’s like the [...]
Links Back to the Week That Was 12/28 – not really
Posted on Dec 28, 2008 by Cari McGee in Week That Was
Today is my daughter’s birthday, so I am going to take the day off! Besides, not much happened this past week, as everyone seemed to hunker down to avoid the snow and open presents. I’ll either do a Links Back post tomorrow, or at year-end, or skip it all together!
Santa's ETA for the Tri-Cities – 12 midnight!
Posted on Dec 24, 2008 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous
Words cannot express how much I LOVE the NORAD tracks Santa site. We log in every year (they provide hourly updates starting at 3am PST on 12/24) to see where Santa is on his travels. My kids learn geography and find out where the big guy is expected next. My favorite memory of Santa-tracking took [...]

Well, first off, it’s been FREEZING COLD! For crying out loud – the lows have been in the negatives and the highs have been single digits. THAT’S not a comfortable way to live, I tell you! It was worse in Spokane, and near tragic in Seattle. And in case you had some bright ideas about [...]
Tri-Cities Still Shopping
Posted on Dec 19, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA
and it’s a good thing, too. I’m super busy in December because both of my children have December birthdays. Plus, we celebrate Christmas (although they say Jesus was actually born in the spring – I like to think He was an April 1st baby, like me), and so between the 15th and the 31st we’re [...]
Low Temps Hit Mid-Columbia
Posted on Dec 16, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities, WA
No, you didn’t suddenly stumble upon the local weathercaster’s blog. In our family we think it’s funny to discuss negative degrees. We want to know, how can you have a debit of degree? How can you be in debt to zero? We say things like, “Someone, somewhere, has taken more than the alloted degrees allowed [...]

It’s SNOWING!!! Tri-Citians rarely see the white stuff, so to get more than a dusting is always big news. Oh, AND it’s 17 degrees outside – so it’s really like winter! First, about rates – apparently, they’re considering lowering them AGAIN. Re-fi or buy a new place because, truly, the money is out there for [...]
Tri-Cities, WA Real Estate Stats – November
Posted on Dec 11, 2008 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
I learned something new today. Apparently, the Tri-Cities economy often runs contrary to the nation’s economy. When the rest of the country is booming, we’re holding steady. When the rest of the country is struggling, we hold steady, and even grow a bit! In 2001-2003, the US was hit with a recession caused by the [...]
