Posted on Aug 4, 2010 by Cari McGee in Buyers
Today’s post is a guest post by James Kelley, of the VA Benefits Blog. James has good news for some veterans among my readership… Most home buyers who were under contract by April 30 have from June 30th to September 30th to close on their home in order to get the $6,500-$8,000 federal tax credit.

Tri-Cities Real Estate Market: June Stats (very late!)
Posted on Aug 1, 2010 by Cari McGee in Tri-Cities Market
Take a look at June’s stats for the Tri-Cities real estate market. You’ll see a marked uptick for real estate business that month. Remember, May showed a precipitous decline in homes under contract, because the tax credit expired April 30th.

The Magic of Home
Posted on Jul 22, 2010 by Cari McGee in Miscellaneous

It’s often shown several times on different channels around Christmas-time, which is appropriate as the final scene takes place on Christmas Eve. If you’ve never seen the movie but think [...]
Facebook Funny
Posted on Jun 23, 2010 by Cari McGee in Real Estate Industry
One of the best part of life is when humor comes up in unexpected places. On Facebook, I am friends with a woman named Mary, and I “like” the HBA (Home Building Association of Tri-Cities). A couple days ago these status updates were up back-to-back – Ha! How perfect is that? I don’t know how [...]

It’s always fun when two or more seemingly disparate parts of me find something they can enjoy together. For example, this info combines my love of real estate, statistics and migration trends.
