Tri Cities market check.

Sales jumped from 62 to 75 this week, average price pushed over $532K, and days on market stayed steady at about 52.

That tells me one thing pretty clearly.

Buyers are still out there, but they are not just throwing money around. They are moving when the numbers make sense.

For sellers, demand is still alive, but pricing has to be sharp. For buyers, there are 812 active listings, which means options are on the table.

This market is not dead.

It is sorting out who is serious.

What happens when good business, good design, and a great beard all end up in the same conversation?

New episode of Beards Behind the Business is live, and this one features Andrew from YLD Web Design.

Andrew is the kind of business owner who understands that your website is not just a digital business card. It is often the first handshake, first impression, and first chance to show people you are worth trusting. We talked about web design, building a business, showing up for clients, and what it really takes to create something that works behind the scenes while you are out doing the work.

This episode is all about local business, real conversations, and the people building something real in our community.

And special thanks to Rattlesnake Mountain Brewing for letting us chill in the back and turning down the music for a lil bit!

Give it a watch, drop Andrew some love, and let me know who you want to see on Beards Behind the Business next.

Episode 1 of Beards Behind the Business kicks off with Eric from Pure View Exterior Cleaning, a Tri Cities company helping homes and businesses look sharp from the outside in. From pressure washing and window cleaning to roof washing, solar panel cleaning, and gutters, Pure View is all about bringing back that clean, crisp, “dang, that looks good” kind of curb appeal. They were founded in the Tri Cities in 2023 and serve both residential and commercial clients across the area.

This series is about more than beards. It’s about the people behind the businesses, the stories behind the work, and the local folks putting their name, reputation, and elbow grease into the community.

Go show Eric and Pure View some love, and drop a comment with the next local bearded business owner I should feature.

Everybody knows a business owner.
But not everybody knows the story behind the grind.

I’m launching a new video series:
🎥 BEARDS BEHIND THE BUSINESS 🎥

And I need YOUR nominations.

I’m looking for bearded business owners, entrepreneurs, creators, blue-collar grinders, leaders, and guys out here building something bigger than themselves. The kind of people with scars, stories, setbacks, wins… and wisdom worth hearing.

Know somebody who deserves a spotlight?
Drop their name in the comments.
Tag them.
Shoot me a message.

And if your nomination gets picked for an interview… there just might be something in it for you too 👀

Let’s highlight the beards behind the businesses that keep this community moving.

Cottonwood Springs showing up with space, views, and a backyard that knows how to make an entrance.

This beautiful home sits on over half an acre and brings the kind of room people are always asking for: 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, extra large living spaces, oversized windows, high ceilings, and a layout that feels warm from the second you step inside.

The kitchen has plenty of storage, stainless steel appliances, an eat in breakfast area, and easy access to the backyard patio. Upstairs, the primary suite brings the drama in the best way with double entry doors, vaulted ceilings, and a spacious walk in closet.

And yes, the laundry room deserves a shoutout too. Custom built ins, tons of space, and a view that might make folding towels feel slightly less offensive.

Outside, you have room for entertaining, fire pit nights, hot tub hangs, gardening, projects, pets, hobbies, or just enjoying a little breathing room. Plus, there is a shop, which is always a win.

Tri Cities market check: things cooled off this week, but the sky is not falling.

Sales dipped, days on market climbed, and average prices softened a bit. That usually means buyers are taking a breath, looking harder, and not jumping at everything that hits the market.

For sellers, this is where pricing matters. Not “my neighbor said” pricing. Not “I saw one online” pricing. Real pricing. Smart pricing. Market backed pricing.

For buyers, there may be a little more room to think, negotiate, and move with strategy instead of panic.

The market is shifting, not sleeping. Know the numbers before you make your move.
