Appraisal v. Dollars per Square Foot in Apex, NC

We received the following email from a Home Owner in Apex NC recently:

"I received a postcard from the Francis Home Team stating that the average sales price per square foot in my community is $107.54. I just had my house appraised and the price per square foot turned out to be $101.60 or $14,850 less than that estimate. Thought you should know this."

We appreciate this Home Owner sharing their concern - we're *always* happy to share our real estate experience and knowledge! Here's the response that this Home Owner found very helpful:

"Thanks so much for contacting us about your appraisal. The postcard data is based on the most recent home sales in your Apex community - typically for the most recent quarter. We don't go into your house - of course! - so the Appraiser had more detailed info. In addition, Appraisers will focus on homes of approximately the same squre footage because smaller homes will tend to have a higher dollars-per-square-foot than bigger homes. Our number is s straight numeric average of recently sold homes - much more of a 'benchmark' than an indepth analysis." And, unlike an Appraisal, our Market Update Postcards are also free!

Google Doodles, Peter Max... and My Daughter Laura. Another Proud Dad Moment...

Google Doodles

Peter Max

My daughter Laura and Me!

For those of you who've been following my blogs, you might know by now that I occasionally like to play around with Photoshop.

You might also know that I'm a big fan of my daughter Laura.

Well, my dear readers, despite the fact that she'll often roll her eyes at some of the "creations" I've come up with over the years, Laura has taken a liking to Photoshop too! Go figure!!!

This semester at Apex High School, Laura has an Art History class.

Her first assignment was to create a Google Doodle, entirely from scratch.

You know the ones. They're on Google's home page and they depict the day's event, be it historical, or a famous person's birthday, or a unique achievement.

Some of these doodles are just pictures, but some are interactive, like this one for John Lennon's birthday:

In any case, Laura was inspired to make her Google Doodle by the autographed Peter Max lithograph I have hanging in my office.

So, without further ado, I bring to you, a Google Doodle created in Photoshop by my daughter Laura Rutman...

Google Doodles, Peter Max... and My Daughter Laura...

Now, I might be a bit biased here, but I gotta tell you folks, I think she did an amazing job with her Google Doodle, and, I'm pretty certain she'll be getting an A+ for this one!
