Pools - Help or Hurt ?

04/07/2003 10:34 AM treebeard

What's the general consensus out there...does an in-ground pool add value to a piece of property, or detract from it?

It's always been my uneducated understanding that these things become more of a hinderance than a help at selling time. That they can limit the pool (no pun intended) of prospective buyers. Anyone have a handle on the truth to that? Any agents or pro's out there?

Does it matter what part of the country? (I'm in the northeast, so the "season" wouldn't be the same as Arizona.) Does size of the lot play into this, as in the pool not dominating the lot?

We're deep in discussion about installing one. One of us sits on the "I wanna pool" side of the fence. The other sits on the "I'm not convinced it's a good thing" side of the fence.

What do you all think out there?

Oh, neither one of us will hold anyone here responsible for any good/stupid decision we might make based on your valuable input....:-)
