Buying Homes With Swimming Pool | ||
![]() Who Buys Homes With Swimming Pools? When it comes to buying a home with a pool, most home buyers fall into one of three camps: • Home Buyers Who Won't Look at Homes Without a Pool For these buyers, a pool is paramount because a home is not a home without a pool. Pools are very popular in warm states, where they are used year round. • Home Buyers Who Won't Look at Homes With a Pool Buyers with small children are often concerned about accidental deaths by drowning. Some buyers don't want the upkeep or expense of a pool. • Home Buyers Who Never Thought About a Pool If the home has everything else a buyer desires but it also has a pool, these buyers may face a quick decision they hadn't anticipated. Some buy the house and fill the pool with rocks. Should You Buy a Home With a Pool? Studies show that most low-end and many middle-range buyers do not want a home with a pool. Higher-end homes are more likely to have pools, but some are never used. Some pools exist for decoration. If you enjoy swimming, then a pool might be right for you. But wisdom says buy a home with a pool only if you will use it. Otherwise, your sparkling pool could turn into an expensive pond for ducks. The Advantages of Owning a Home With a Pool • Many people believe pools increase the aesthetic value of their yard. • People who host a lot of parties utilize their pools as an entertainment center, and kids love pools. • Pools provide an easy way to instantly cool down on hot days. • Some people use swimming pools exclusively for in-water exercises and say pools add health benefits for them. • Swimming pools can bring added value at resale, especially in hot climates. Do Pools Add or Detract From the Value of a Home? Whether a pool adds value to a home depends on where you live. The National Association of Realtors says an in-ground pool adds about 7.7% more in value to the home's market value. However, if the climate is cold, the swimming pool makes no difference to the value of the house. http://homebuying.about.com |
