Home Value: 3 Tips for Making A New Pool An Appreciative Addition

Written by Posted On Wednesday, 15 November 2017 15:46

You may have heard that a swimming pool installation project does not add value to your home. Typically, a homeowner should install a swimming pool because they want to enjoy this feature for years to come with family and friends. However, there are some steps that you can take to generate property value appreciation from a pool installation project.

 

Install a Custom-Designed Pool

If you want your pool to be a truly valuable addition to your property, you need to turn your attention to the overall look of your pool. A basic pool without any decorative touches and special features may not be appealing to a future buyer. However, if you, or professionals like Desjoyaux Pools, install a custom pool with a waterfall feature, a hot tub or other special features, your property value may increase because of the overall appeal that the pool area has to potential buyers. Other enhanced features include a grotto cave, a built-in pool bar, a slide for the kids, a zero-entry area, and more.

 

Add Outdoor Living or Cooking Areas

While a pool can add property value to your home when it has a customized look and is professionally installed, the features surrounding the pool also will play a role in property value. For example, if you add an outdoor living area or an outdoor kitchen near your pool, your yard becomes even more appealing to a potential buyer. Because of this, you may generate an even greater return on investment. Essentially, you can turn your backyard into your own private resort.

 

Improve Your Landscaping

Landscaping typically does not increase property value considerably, but when you have a custom swimming pool with special features as well as an outdoor living area or kitchen, your yard should look immaculate and well-cared for. After the pool installation project in your yard has been completed, invest in professional landscaping design and installation services to give your yard a completed or polished look. You may also add a covered awning near the pool, outdoor lighting features and sprinkler systems for easier lawn maintenance.

 

You understandably want your property value to increase, but you also need to make improvements that you can enjoy for the entire time that you live in the home. While not all pools will increase property value, investing in a custom pool with surrounding features that add to the overall experience that you can enjoy in your yard is a wonderful idea that may help you to see property value appreciation.
