 The slogan for the Del Mar Race Track is " Where the Surf Meets the Turf". This was supposedly said by Bing Crosby but I think it was actually the marketing arm of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Organization back when they decided to build the race track. What ever the origin, ActiveRain was a part of two seasons when we held our first ActiveRain Soiree back about 8 years ago.  Jeff Dowler and I may be the only members  of that original group that are still active in the Rain. I had my first DSLR camera with me that day and made my first effort in taking photos of moving objects that are in focus. So here is one of my favorite photos taken that day.

The appraisal value often matches the exact selling price that the buyer and seller have agreed to.  That is because an appraisal estimates the fair market value.  When a buyer and a seller in an open market agree to a purchase price, that is a strong indication of the actual market value.  Most appraisers will recognize the purchase price as a valuation of the fair market price.So you may be asking: what happens if the appraisal comes in lower than our purchase price?  That’s a great question.  If the property’s appraisal value is less than the purchase price, you have agreed to, your mortgage lender may not agree to the purchase.  Therefore, you will likely request that the seller lower his purchase price to the appraisal price.  In some instances, the buyer can contribute the differe...
