Resale Values

Posted on Jan 26, 2009 by in Sellers

They’re plummeting locally. OK, it’s very local, as in just in my city, on my street, at my house. A couple years ago, we bought a new refrigerator.  In the process of removing the old one and dragging it out to the garage in order for it to be the designated soda pop/extra milk fridge, [...]

Pasco's Foreclosure "Problem"

Posted on Jan 8, 2009 by in Pasco Real Estate

The Tri-City Herald reported today that Pasco was granted about $400,000 from the federal government to help with foreclosures.  Psssst – here’s the thing – it’s not really an issue. As the city manager, Gary Crutchfield said, It’s a good opportunity to address the relatively small problem that we have… Pasco was the only one [...]
