The technology seems sweet.  

There is a fair amount of waterfront in Portland and a lot of sweet architecture on that waterfront.

Sweet!!

Our sweet spot for selling a home tends to be right in the three week range If we have it priced right.

Sounds pretty sweet!

Commercial leases are much more specific to each tenant/building, but find yourself a good lawyer who will keep it short and sweet and use common language.

Your sweet spot is going to be with properties, sub-$200k, as it will allow for affordable weekly rates, if you're carrying a mortgage. 

It was sweet!.

That is the sweet spot where gas prices per gallon are still seen as favorable but oil companies can make a good profit and keep workers employed.Where I am in GA we are not feeling the effects of more oil at all.
