Some buyers may be searching high and low for a home with a pool. However, for other buyers a pool may be a turn off. Pools come along with extra maintenance expenses and may be hazardous for children and pets. Monthly upkeep for a pool can be around $750 a month.
Building a pool enclosure can eliminate any risk posed for children, pets, elderly, or perhaps even adults that do not know how to swim. In most cases, a pool should increase home value if you live in an area with a warm climate. In addition, having a pool is usually not a deal breaker if your home is in a desirable location or there are limited options on the market.
