Cari McGee ranks as the #43 real estate agent in Washington state after closing 52 sales in 2025 for $26.3 million in sales volume, according to the 2026 WSJ/RealTrends Verified agent rankings. 

For the second year in a row, McGee has secured a position on RealTrends’ annual rankings of top-producing agents nationally, based on verified 2025 sales volume and transaction count..

Why did RealTrends honor Cari McGee?

McGee’s total of 52 transactions in 2025 makes her the #43 most successful agent in Washington based on sales count, and one of the top 1.5% agents in the United States. It also makes her the #3 individual agent in Tri-Cities, Washington. 

Her $26.34 million sales volume in 2025 ranked #3 in the Tri-Cities among individual agents and #163 in the state. This is especially impressive given that Tri-Cities home prices are among the lowest in any major metro area in Washington. 

“It’s amazing to think that only a few dozen agents sold more homes than me in the entire state of Washington last year,” McGee said. “Thank you to everyone who put their trust in me and hired me, or referred me to others who hired me. I am so, so grateful.”

Home prices in the Tri-Cities area recorded moderate gains in 2025, marking the second year of price increases following a market adjustment in 2023, according to data tracked by the Cari McGee Real Estate Team.

Despite a relatively flat market compared to historical averages, local real estate data shows that all key price measures (median and average) climbed year-over-year, reflecting continued stability and buyer interest in the Tri-Cities housing market.

Key Highlights from 2025 Home Sales:

• December 2025 Median Price: The median sales price for homes sold in December 2025 was $424,900, a 1.2% increase compared with December 2024.

• Full-Year Median Price: Across all 3,590 homes sold in 2025, the full-year median sales price was $433,000, up 1.9% from 2024.

• Average Sales Price Record: The average sales price for the Tri-Cities in 2025 reached $479,044, 3.6% higher than 2024 and a new annual record for the area. (The previous high average sales price was $469,760 in 2022.)

“These gains might seem modest when viewed in isolation, but they indicate healthy market conditions and sustained demand for homes across the immediate Tri-Cities area,” said Cari McGee, local Realtor® and market expert.

Taken together, the data show that 2025 was a year of steady housing price appreciation for the Tri-Cities market.

(Important note: When we say “Tri-Cities area,” we mean Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, West Richland, Benton City, and Burbank. The Tri-Cities Association of Realtors’ sales data also includes further outlying areas such as Basin City, Connell, Eltopia, Kahlotus, and others. Sales in those areas are not included in our count.)
