How does an ocean front view add value to a home?

Is it just eye candy or is there another reason why it increases value significantly? I've also noticed hotels take advantage of this and charge a lot more. Why?How does an ocean front view add value to a home?
Do you not realize how beautiful it is to look out a big picture window and see dolphins jumping, waves, or just the beauty of an ocean sunset? If you live close enough to the beach, the sound of the ocean is calming for many.





Duh!How does an ocean front view add value to a home?
It is all based on supply and demand. If the demand is high, the developer pays high price for the land and the right to build on that location and buyer pays a high price for the home.





Nobody is taking advantage of anyone. Even the person that sold the land to the developer didn't take advantage of anyone. He decided that what he owned was very valuable to himself until someone offered a price that he felt the land was worth.
because you have an ocean front view, looks good, sun rise and sun set sorta thing. romantic, sex on beach that sorta thing. people take in to account this sort of thing when selling homes
It's basically just eye candy. Many people value such a sight, because it's simply gorgeous. This is why hotels with ocean front views are more expensive, more for your money...
would you rather have a road view or an ocean view? stupid as it sounds....ocean view can increase the value of a house, apartment etc
People like ocean views and are willing to pay more for a house that has one.
people like to see the ocean, all it is is eye candy.

i dont think too many people would like a back alley or garbage dump view
just cuz it looks nice
