CONDO SOLD!

CONDO SOLD! 
By Bernard Bujold- 
The luxurious condo of Pauline Marois and Claude Blanchet in Old Montreal was sold at a good price for $ 4.6 million to a wealthy American doctor, more than $ 2.1 million above the price of 2.5 $ million that the couple had paid five years ago in April 2013. 
The condo had been put on sale in late summer 2018 for $ 4.9 million. 
"They [Ms. Marois and Mr. Blanchet] appreciated the property, but they decided to move and build something else, I guess ...", commented briefly the real estate broker in charge of the file at Sotheby's, Liza Kaufman. 
For gossip lovers, the question is: who is the rich doctor? 
The sumptuous condo would serve as a "pied-à-terre" for the American buyer in the metropolis. "He likes the lifestyle, and he sees [economic] potential in the city as well," said broker Kaufman, adding that the $ 4.6 million represents little for the doctor. "For this kind of buyer, it's not a big expense," she said.

THE SANTA'S ELVES AND THE CHRISTMAS NIGHT 2018- 
By Bernard Bujold -
The three Santa elves were in heaven when they heard their Santa Claus arrive at their Montreal hosts. The ELVES were starting to miss their boss! 
I personally had a lot of fun chatting with Santa Claus and he accepted with great pleasure my little gift, a cap of our friend Donald for the 2020 campaign. Santa says he is confident that our friend will win the election race with flying colors... 
The residence is now quiet and I can enjoy again the pleasant company of my faithful Ulysses who no longer has to monitor the three unruly Elves. 
HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all!
