When the news broke that Grand Rapids was the 5th most affordable city in the United States, you would have thought there would be cheering and dancing in the streets.  After all, isn't affordability a great thing in the era of recession fears and increasingly dire economic news?  

Well, if there was such thing as negative miracles, somehow this normally great news is being apprehended by the boogie man...fear of the unknown.  News reports indicate that potential buyers fearful of further declines in the market are determining they won't buy now even though prices haven't been this low for more than 20 years!  Wow!

Well, I'm glad that I'm living in a parallel universe.  These past two weeks have been some of busiest we've had at Audu Real Estate.  We're taking buyers out and some of the deals that we're seeing are so good that we're being told that we're offer #2 or #3.  Today, I fielded several requests for home showings on homes we have listed!

When opportunity knocks, we have determined that we don't want to be sleeping.  We've found that it's better to open the door because often opportunity doesn't stick around, it keeps on trudging towards the next likely candidate.  What FDR said remains true... 'the only thing to fear is fear itself.'

So, if you're a homeowner who would like to sell your home or a home buyer who wants to check out what the incredible options are right now....give us a call or e-mail us at info@auduhomes.com. We're eager to be of service.
