DreamBeachHouses.com: A Beautiful New Southwest Florida Real Estate Website

Homebuyers dreaming of a place amidst sand, sun and coconuts can now spend hours exploring beautiful island, waterfront and water view homes in startlingly clear high-definition virtual tours on a Southwest Florida Realtor’s recently-launched website - DreamBeachHouses.com – and might find themselves booking a flight to Fort Myers afterward.

Sanibel, FL (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) April 14, 2005 – Homebuyers dreaming of a place amidst sand, sun and coconuts can now spend hours exploring beautiful island, waterfront and water view homes in startlingly clear high-definition virtual tours on a Southwest Florida Realtor’s recently-launched website – and might find themselves booking a flight to Fort Myers afterward. Viewed on DreamBeachHouses.com America’s continental subtropics are more alluring than ever.

“Last year I was sitting in front of the computer in New York squinting at virtual tours on Realtor.com, browsing properties in California, Florida, New Mexico – anyplace warm and beautiful,” says Brad Bealmear, an agent for VIP Realty in Fort Myers and the force behind DreamBeachHouses.com, “but as a commercial photographer I had problems with the quality. Most of those tours look like you are viewing a room through a Coke bottle. Then I came across a group of virtual tours in Southwest Florida that were different – compared to the others the tours resembled Cinerama. It dawned on me that if I worked with the company (SWFL360.com, based in Cape Coral) I could combine my photography with real estate sales in one of the most desirable areas in the US and produce one very nice website.” And that is how it happened, with Bealmear offering high-quality photographic tours and a handsome home on the Internet to his listings at no charge.

Although most of the properties displayed on the website are high-end (and some are VERY high end) Bealmear insists that there are plenty of great lower-cost buys to be made in the area. “Fort Myers downtown is going through a renaissance and there will be lots of exciting new building along the Caloosahatchee Riverfront, while at the same time there are cool old ‘20s houses in the area still priced fairly low - for a little while longer.” He says. “Cape Coral is an unbelievable place – you just have to see it. There are 400 miles of canals and you can get a nice house on the water with a pool very reasonably.” Somewhat pricier areas featured on the site are Sanibel and Captiva Islands (over half of Sanibel is preserve) Fort Myers Beach and Bonita Springs, Naples and Marco Island.

Hurricane Charley buzz-sawed through the area in August, but the real estate industry seems to have barely noticed. Prices only dipped in directly-hit areas, and that looks to be a fleeting phenomenon as the entire region continues to enjoy steadily rising value in its housing. There are only a certain number of square miles of inhabitable subtropical land in the continental US, and of that a much smaller area of island property. When residents are seen wasting no time rebuilding and replanting after a disaster, then that area can only be seen as quite a good bet for real estate investment. Owners of the homes so beautifully displayed on DreamBeachHouses.com are obviously finding the region to be well worth the money spent.
