  • “It was a dark and stormy night...”little did we know

 

  • The Millennium Tower debuts – the high-end gets a queen

 

  • The Infinity’s sales rate exceeds one condominium per day – proving that market pricing matters

 

  • After a long labor, PulseFactors.com launches – shameless self-promotion (but we know you love us anyway).

 

  • The penthouse at the St. Regis lists for mega-bucks – A one-of-a-kind is naturally very pricey.

 

  • ‘Short Sale’ enters the Realtor’s lexicon (joining short-sighted, short fuse, and losing your shorts) – these are times that try men’s souls

 

  • Lenders hold the cards – banks are the new sellers (and Realtors used to complain about stubborn, unrealistic sellers in the good old days!)

 

  • Hong Kong buyer reportedly pays $9,200/sq. ft for a condominium on the 88th floor, but it’s really $12,000/sq. ft and on the 46th floor – It’s the Hong Kong way.

 

  • The DOW hits 10,000 – The worst is probably behind us

 

  • We survived 2009 – Let us be thankful for the good stuff and do better in 2010.

 

  • We hope you enjoy the holidays, good health and prosperity in the New Year –  The PulseFactors Team
