GolfCourseHome.net Is the Place to Go for
Golf Real Estate: “Business 2.0” Magazine

 Editors cite http://www.GolfCourseHome.net as a successful niche real estate web site

Newtown, CT, November 4, 2004—When it comes to “Browsing to Buy” a home in a golf course  community, the GolfCourseHome®Network of web sites is one of the first places people go to research the market, says the November issue of “Business 2.0” Magazine.

“Online real estate listings will move $130 billion worth of homes this year,” the article begins, and, “these clever companies have figured out how to grab a piece of the market.”

The GolfCourseHome®Network is profiled from its launch in 1999 as http://www.GolfCourseHome.net, along with two other real estate web sites, in an article that can be found in the magazine’s “What Works” section.

The magazine noted how Editor/Publisher David Lott developed the concept after writing about golf course communities for “Golf Digest” and that the company has been profitable since it was founded.

“Business 2.0, which has a national circulation of 600,000 technology-oriented business professionals, is recognizing what a major force the Internet has become in helping people buy real estate,” notes Lott.

“At a recent amenity community conference,” he continues, “research was presented that showed between 70 and 90 percent of today’s amenity community homebuyers use the internet to search for homes and lots. That’s nearly triple the percentage from just two year’s ago.”

The GolfCourseHome®Network has benefited from the growing number of web-based, real-estate searches, recently announcing a 44-percent increase in visitor traffic over the past six months. The Network also reported a record-setting 400,000+ visitors viewed the Network’s 100+ featured communities in the second and third quarters of this year.

http://www.GolfCourseHome.net and http://www.WaterViewHome.net are the core of the GolfCourseHome®Network which features a database of more than 500 master-planned communities, plus editorial features on world-class golf and waterview communities located in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe.

WaterViewHome.net Breaks 10,000-Visitor Mark 

Article by CBSMarketWatch.com kicks off new advance in growth

NEWTOWN, CT, August 19, 2003 – Visitor traffic at http://www.WaterViewHome.net, the web site for master-planned, waterfront communities, broke through the 10,000-visitor level for the first time in July. The new high-water mark represented a 31 percent leap in traffic from April, according to David Lott, the site’s publisher and editor.

The record total also pushed the site past the 100,000-hit per month level for the second time in three months, Lott said.

The recent rush of new traffic was kicked off in May by a real estate story published on CBSMarketWatch.com, a financial services web site. The article cited WaterViewHome.net as a resource and included its Internet address. Traffic from the article’s link continued into June and July. 

“The media exposure was right where we want it--online,” said Lott. “The story’s hotlink
enabled curious readers to jump directly to http://www.WaterViewHome.net and our in-depth community information has enabled us to build on the exposure ever since.”

The gains for the web site follows on the heels of a recent 6-month growth spurt in which WaterViewHome.net added 10 new communities to its featured real estate line-up, now totaling 45, and traffic numbers doubled over the previous 6-months’ total.

http://WaterViewHome.net is part of the GolfCourseHome®Network of web sites, which features http://www.GolfCourseHome.net, http://www.LuxuryGolfCommunities.net and other related sites.
