Pools are interesting because, pre-pandemic, a pool was neither considered a pro nor a con. This is because a pool could be thought of as either an asset or a liability, depending on who the potential homebuyer is. This changed as of the pandemic. With more folks staying home than vacationing abroad, buyers started seeking out properties that come with pools already installed. We’re seeing higher sales prices overall for homes with well-maintained pools. In the post-COVID market, pools are definitely a pro, as pool installers currently have a 1-2 year waiting list on average.
