New Dominican Republic Real Estate Website for Select Caribbean Properties

SELECT CARIBBEAN PROPERTIES LAUNCHES NEW DOMINICAN REPUBLIC REAL ESTATE WEBSITE AS THE FIRST BABY BOOMERS TURN 65 IN 2011.

As the economic market stabilizes, Baby Boomers are looking again for retirement properties, Select Caribbean Properties launched their new interactive real estate website this week providing, a complete resource for buyers and sellers with comprehensive access to the Luxury Dominican Republic Real Estate market.

The site’s launch comes at an optimal time,  with the North American housing market  currently showing signs of stabilizing. “We hope buyers, sellers and even current homeowners will find the site to be a handy guide to the  market and the properties available,” says owner Sabine Mertes-Urbahn. The site has been designed with a streamlined user interface and features a wide variety of real estate tools, property listings, community information and other resources.

“It’s good that the site was launched just as the real estate market here is regaining its equilibrium,” says Select Caribbean Properties. “As a whole, the market in Cabarete and Sosua saw heightened activity during the first quarter of this year, with home prices and the number of home sales greatly improved as compared to the same period last year.

This year the first  Baby Boomers turn 65 and many are looking for lifestyle changes, they are retiring from careers and shifting to part-time employment, volunteer activities or finding full-time work they enjoy. They are “in it” for the joy of the job, fulfillment , the activity and the social interaction.  They start to imagine that it is possible to sit and look at the beach and use the advanced communication tools available to all of us today for doing business.

They are also turning  to the hobbies and activities they love, but had little time to indulge in during full time careers.   Boomers are younger in spirit, healthier and more physically active than previous generations of retirees. They are redefining what retirement is. With the numerous variety of activities available on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic and the easy access with many direct flights from the USA, Canada or Europe, the Boomers desires can take them to an ocean view Condo in the Dominican Republic‘s lush mountainous regions or to a beach front home on the North Coast.

Retirement is a 20th century trend and an evolving 21st century lifestyle and Select Caribbean Properties and their new website can help find this for all Baby Boomers.

“Playa Alicia”: Sosua’s latest natural wonder

As if it wasn’t enough that the Dominican Republic’s north coast offers some of the country’s most beautiful and pristine beaches, now the beach front tourism community of Sosua has been awarded yet another gift of nature.

The new beach began forming in 2003 when, to the surprise of locals and tourists, white sand brought in by ocean currents began to accumulate near the picturesque village of “El Batey.”  The village was founded in 1938 by 500 Jewish immigrants who traveled to this remote area in their attempts to run away from Nazi Europe.  The Dominican government allowed them to settle in this particular area.

It took a few years for “Playa Alicia” – or Water Front beach, as it is currently called – to form.  During the 1950’s and 1960’s the area was used as a dumping ground for leftovers from a local slaughter house.

This situation attracted lots of sharks to the nearby waters. Sosua is a resort community characterized by small and quaint hotels, apartments and villas.

The town offers visitors a diverse range of local and international restaurants. All-inclusive hotels, such as the ones that characterize the country’s easternmost region, are almost non-existent in this particular town. (Jose Luis Chavez, text and photos).

The sea creates new beach in Sosua

“I remember going to the area in 1970 and noticing that these waters were about five meters deep.

My parents had a beach-front house nearby and we always went there to see the sharks,” said tourism entrepreneur Juan Perdomo, who is currently promoting Mayor Ilana Newman’s project to build a beautiful park on the new beach.

Today, “Alicia” has become one of Sosua’s most beautiful natural attractions.
