Is a swimming pool worth the cost? | Splash Pools & Construction
A Swimming Pool is a big investment and we realize that! There are several things to consider before you invest in a swimming pool.
Four great considerations when looking to invest in a swimming pool. Don’t think of it only as a monetary investment, it’s much more than that.
1) Investment in your Family
A swimming pool is truly an investment in your family, regardless of whether or not you have children at home. A pool or spa can be a great location for you and your spouse to unwind and relax together. Have you ever seen the excitement that children have when they are about to jump into a swimming pool for the first time that day? PURE JOY! The entire family can connect and have quality family time in the swimming pool.
2) Entertainment at Home
You can have a “Staycation” to enjoy whenever you want!
According to a survey completed by the National Association of Realtors, 2018 Remodeling Impact: Outdoor Features, people reported better functionality and livability of their home when they added a new pool. The report also reported that ninety-two percent of those surveyed said they have a greater desire to be home since completing the project and 83% have an increased sense of enjoyment when they are home.
3) Real Estate Value
You will most likely not recoup the entire swimming pool investment when you go to sell your home, but a swimming pool does make your home more desirable, especially in Southern California! According to the National Association of Realtors, you may only recoup about 50% of what you spent on the initial pool investment. This should not scare you away, but resale should not be your primary goal with building a new swimming pool.
4) Active Lifestyle
A swimming pool 100% supports an active lifestyle! Get your exercise, get moving and swim with your family!
There are many other outdoor features that you can add to your home to enjoy it more, these include: outdoor living areas, outdoor kitchen, patio structure, deck, fire features and enhanced landscape.
Please remember: a swimming pool is not only an investment in your home, it’s an investment in your lifestyle!
