OTHER MOTIVATIONS FOR BUYING A POOL
- Pools Make Your Yard Look Great - The majority of backyards in Tallahassee are all alike. They have grassy areas, planters, and perhaps a fence. When they are clean and well-groomed, they are nice. But there is nothing like a swimming pool to change the entire look of a yard. When people come over, it is the pool they see through the back window, not shrubs, not grass, and not some home-depot swingset. Having a pool in your yard will definitely improve the way your home looks.
- Pools Will Make You More Active - If you buy a home with a pool, you will always have fast access to potential exercise. Just being able to open your back door, walk a few steps, and then jump into the pool means that you will exercise more. If you are swimmer, this can be a vigorous workout. If you are like me, you'll just be able to burn a few extra calories will sipping on an ice-cold beer!
- Pools Will Raise Your Social Order - This one is very simple. If you live in a neighborhood where people are friendly, I bet there are occasional get-togethers. And if they occur in the Summer, where does the event take place? I bet you at a home with a swimming pool in the back yard! That's right, buy a home with a swimming pool and your home will be the place to be. Your kids won't run off to play at somebody else's house, those kids will come over to yours! The home with the pool is the home that is cool!
- Pools Aid Real Estate Appreciation - I often produce data-driven reports about the value of swimming pools which clearly demonstrate that pool homes sell for more than those with no pools. But homes with swimming pools sell for less than the cost of a new pool, so buying one that already has a pool is a brilliant economic choice. The way I see it is that all the pool homes listed for sale in Tallahassee have already paid the premium for the pool, now future owners will get the benefit of its use as well as its appreciating value.
You have no excuse for suffering a miserably hot fourth of July. Just follow my remedy, buy a home for sale with a pool, and you'll be cool as a cucumber every Independence Day moving forward!
