Home building seems to be booming in Tri-Cities. But is it just a mirage?
Tri-City schools recess for the summer next week, kicking off the busy season for home buying. For those with house hunting on their to-do list, there is good news and trouble is brewing as builders cut back amid concerns about the Tri-Cities and U.S. economy. The good news: There were 944 homes listed for sale in May, the largest selection since November 2014, when there were about 1,000, according to Tri-City Association of Realtors archives. he average home price remains high, averaging $472,000, about $3,000 more than a year ago. But the double-digit price increases of the pandemic years have eased. The number of sales is holding steady, 321 in May compared to 330 a year ago and 284 the year before that. 'I think we're going to be petty stable for a little while,' said Andrew Magallanez, chief association executive for the local Realtors association. The note of caution, however, is Tri-Citians readily see excavators turning vacant land into future subdivisions around the community. But looks are deceiving. Home builders are starting fewer homes, said Jeff Losey, president of the Home Builders Association of Tri-Cities. 'When you drive around and you look, it's blowing up,' he said. However, fears about interest rates, tariff-fueled increases in lumber prices and concerns about federal funding for the Hanford cleanup are prompting home builders not to expose themselves to a potential downturn. Losey reports local home builders pulled 22% fewer permits for single-family homes in April compared to a year ago. It's not just local. Nationally, new home construction fell 12%, according to the National Association of Home Builders, which echoed concerns about new tariffs on building materials such as Canadian lumber. The national association anticipates tariffs will increase the average cost to build a home by more than $9,200, depending on which tariffs and retaliatory tariffs are enacted. Losey said the downturn is spread across the Tri-Cities, with permit numbers tumbling in Kennewick, Pasco, West Richland, Benton and Franklin counties. Richland was the exception, its numbers buoyed by home building at Badger Mountain South. Builders received permits for 109 homes in the first months of the year compared to 78 over the same period in 2024. 'That's a pretty big jump,' Losey said. Development is slowing, but not stopped. Even now, veteran builders are committing to long-planned projects. The Urban Trails along Bob Olson Parkway, near Desert Hills Middle School in Kennewick, is the most recent to break ground. Excavators began carving the 152-acre site into a future neighborhood this spring after securing grading permits from the city. At full development, Urban Trails will add about 1,200 new residences, split between homes, townhomes and up to 750 apartments. It is the brainchild of Mitchell Creer LLC, led buy Britt Creer, president of the Urban Range Group/Ranchland Homes, a busy Tri-Cities land developer and home builder. It has been in the works since at least 2023, when it was conceived as a 1,900-door project. Creer said door-count was curbed, but it still will include a mix of residence types catering to people at every phase of their lives — apartments for young adults, detached homes for growing families, townhomes for downsizing retirees. 'The idea is you never have to leave,' he said. Magallanez, of the Realtors association, said Urban Trails is a welcome twist on the standard subdivision packed with single-family homes. 'As we grow, we either grow up or we'll start to see more mixed use,' he said. 'We need housing at different generational levels.' Rotschy Inc. is the contractor for the grading work at Urban Trails, which involves moving about 700,000 cubic yards of material to create the future neighborhood. Creer said the infrastructure design will be finalized when the grading is done. He intends to apply for permits for the civil infrastructure — roads, utilities, stormwater systems and so forth — later this month. The first 40 lots will be available later this year and apartment designs will be finalized in 2026. Jared Retter of Retter & Co. | Sotheby's International Realty confirmed it expects to represent The Urban Trails to buyers after working with Creer and his partners on other projects, including two West Richland developments — Eagle Pointe Townhomes on Belmont and Western Ridge, a single-family neighborhood that's nearby. There are nearly 11,000 future residential lots in various phases of planning, according to projects tracked by the Tri-City Herald. There's no guarantee any individual proposal will become reality. But collectively, the dozens of planned subdivisions and development sites offer a potent view of future construction in Benton and Franklin counties. The former Lewis and Clark Ranch in West Richland is easily the most ambitious undertaking. The 7,000-acre Frank Tiegs LLC property is already inside the city. The first 800-acre phase would add 3,000 to 4,000 new homes and apartments, according to city planners, who have been working on the proposed development for years.

Attention Costco shoppers: 5 money saving tips and tricks that everyone should know, according to experts
Costco is widely recognized as a go-to for bulk shoppers looking to stock up on food and groceries, home essentials and more. More than 10 million Canadians have Costco memberships that give them access to its gas station, a members-only pharmacy, Costco Travel, Costco Services, home improvement and more. But are shoppers making the most of their memberships to get best deals possible? Nichole Schaubroeck and Tina Chow are two Canadian content creators who have each earned hundreds of thousands of followers by sharing the ins and outs of saving money while you shop. 'It's very hard to find a good deal, so anyway we can save, maybe it's not as extreme as it used to be, it's still good," said Schaubroeck who runs the account Coupon Cutie, in an interview with Yahoo Canada. Keep reading to learn Chow and Schaubroeck's best tips and trips on how to navigate Costco like a pro. According to Schaubroeck, Costco's price tags are a good predictor of whether or not an item will go on sale. Items that end in .97 are likely at their lowest price, making it prime time to stock up on what you need. Another hidden hack is to look for what Costco shoppers call the 'death star,' an asterisk located in the upper right-hand corner of an item's tag. 'All this is telling you is that this item is either no longer going to be at Costco or it won't be back until next year,' said Schaubroeck. Chow, who created the account Costco Lovers Canada, said that although the foot traffic in the store is constantly changing, sales seem to follow a schedule. 'I know that most sales end on a Sunday... new sales will begin the following week,' said Chow. There's also what people refer to online as "Markdown Mondays" — when new items go on sale. While this is not a Costco-official event, it still creates a buzz for shoppers to find cost-friendly deals. 'They [Costco] are always doing markdowns," she added. Additionally, Chow noted that Costco is known for 'following the trends of what's happening in the market,' which can help attract shoppers who are looking for products for a certain occasion. For example, it's not uncommon for Costco to have a sale on hamburger buns, ketchup, mustard and relish ahead of a long weekend. Chow also recommends shopping as the weather changes to take advantage of out-of-season products at lower prices. According to Costco customer service, shoppers are entitled to 'risk-free, 100 per cent satisfaction guarantee', meaning that the majority of purchased products can be returned and refunded at any time (excluding electronics and diamond jewelry). This allows shoppers to test out products and see if it is the right fit for them. 'If I'm going out and trying a $700 Dyson [hair dryer]... I want to be able to know that I can return it,' said Chow. 'I will always go to Costco and pay more on a product for their return policy.' Costco also honours price adjustments on merchandise if the price drops within 30 days of the original purchase and the product is still in the store's warehouse. Schaubroeck added that this flexibility is a large reason as to why Canadians turn to Costco for their shopping. 'It's always nice to have that reassurance when buying something, that no matter what happens, they will take it back for you,' she said. One perk to owning a Costco membership is that it can be used worldwide at any location, which can come in handy when going on vacation. Chow said she often uses her membership when travelling to help save on food and snacks. It's even handy for shopping and saving on souvenirs and local food. Many Costco shoppers may not know that there's an official Costco app meant to enhance shopping experiences. The Costco app allows you to shop and save using online-only prices, check warehouse inventory and local gasoline prices, refill prescriptions at Costco's pharmacy, create your own shopping list in-app and more. The app also allows shoppers to receive updates on sales promotions and product entering the store, a perk that Chow said is a 'huge secret' amongst Canadians. 'There are app-exclusive savings,' she said. 'If you follow Costco on Instagram, there are also exclusive savings available there." Schaubroeck also highlights another app called Checkout 51, a platform that displays cash-back offers on Costco merchandise. While this does not apply to all products, Schaubroeck said it's an incentive worth checking out.

Former rivals Baker Tilly and Moss Adams just merged as private equity reshapes accounting. Their CEOs explain why they did the deal.
Baker Tilly and Moss Adams have merged to create the sixth-largest advisory CPA firm in the US. "We just added a bunch of arrows into our quiver," Jeff Ferro, CEO of Baker Tilly, told Business Insider. The deal marks a major shift for the mid-market landscape, which is being heavily influenced by private equity. Baker Tilly and Moss Adams merged this week in a deal that marks another shake-up for mid-market consulting firms and emphasizes the role being played by private equity in US accounting. The two firms, which are both in the tier below the Big Four, have a combined annual revenue of over $3 billion. By joining forces, they've catapulted themselves above BDO, Grant Thornton US, and CLA to become the 6th largest accounting firm by revenue in the US. The move brings together 11,500 employees into one firm that will keep the Baker Tilly name and be an independent member firm in the Baker Tilly International network. In a joint interview, the two CEOs of the merged firms told Business Insider that the move is mutually strategic and will help them navigate the challenges facing the mid-market. "We just added a bunch of arrows into our quiver," said Jeff Ferro, CEO of Baker Tilly. The deal also offers an insight into how private equity is reshaping the industry in the US. In 2024, Baker Tilly sold a stake to the private investment groups Hellman & Friedman (H&F) and Valeas, in the second-largest deal in the sector at the time. Baker Tilly is now, thanks to the merger, the largest firm in the industry to be partly owned by private-equity investors. It's a trend that is redefining the culture and business model of traditional accounting firms. Firms have typically paid out profits to equity partners, who also get a vote on how they are run. Private equity offers an influx of capital to help firms evolve their technology and data, but requires firms to divest the control historically promised to partners, shaking up their culture. Ferro told BI that Baker Tilly's strategic plan had been to grow through acquisition, and was a key part of what H&F bought into when they signed the deal. H&F will also make a "meaningful additional strategic investment in the business" as part of this transaction. "Our chances of executing our strategy were good, and now I think they're great," said Ferro. Combining firms also created strategic advances in geographic reach — Moss Adams is West Coast-focused, while Baker Tilly mostly covers the East, central, and has some international clients. The two firms bring specific industry strengths to the table and different tools and service capabilities to offer clients, Ferro said. "I see us being a $6 billion revenue organization in five years," Ferro said, which would mean doubling their current combined revenues. "It's quite a win," agreed Eric Miles, the former CEO of Moss Adams, who will take over from Ferro as CEO of Baker Tilly when Ferro retires at the end of the year. The needs of the mid-market client base are changing, and they require more scale and breadth of services than they used to, he said. At the same time, the firms themselves are seeing increasing demand for true fixed costs like training and development, and AI. Those kinds of pressures require large organizations to scale to be competitive, he said. Neither firm had to do the merger, Miles said, "But we had this strategic lens on it, saying, 'how can we be stronger? What's going to be required to be a leading competitive firm in the future?'" "The partnership with Baker-Tilly helped us meet all those long-term strategic objectives, which helps us not only deal with these forces, but get out in front and lead in the market," Miles said.
