The meteor shower that performed last night is supposed to be even better tonight.  It only occurs once a year, but with the clear night sky, it should be visible to the whole Tri-City area.  Residents of Pasco, Kennewick and Richland, as well as surrounding communities can enjoy the magnificant spectacle of shooting lights.  After resting up from viewing the meteor shower, stop by Distinctive Properties in Kennewick and visit with the stars in the world of Real Estate.  There will be professionals in the office over the weekend, so ask what’s available for sale, or discuss the steps involved in selling your home if that’s your plan.

Congress has passed a bill extending the Homebuyer Tax Credit closing deadlines until September 30,2 010. The extension applies to those transactions that had ratified contracts in place as of the tax credit deadline of April 30, 2010, which have not closed yet.  Many factors contributed to these transactions not being able to close, such as appraisal, overwhelmed closers, lending institutions that were also overwhelmed by so many individuals wanting to take advantage of the $8,000 credit.  So this is really good news for folks who have been sweating the deadline passing without their homes closing.  Everyone can breathe a little easier now.
