Value In Use...Or Diminishing Returns. Welcome To Home Selling Reality 101...

(tap tap tap) Now class...Jim and Jill are hankering a pool. Where are they living on this map to the left? (Edging back from blackboard)

And...they figure the thousands to put it in will come back two or three fold because like them, everyone wants an in ground pool right? Whoa....cowboy. East up on the spurs in side of Trigger! For starters, what state and climate do you live in? How does a professional REALTOR tell you the market reacts to a home with or without a pool? True you live in the home, would enjoy the pool but if a sale is on the horizon, maybe that "Value in use" is great for you. But the money plowed into the back yard may stay buried in that back yard. Broaden your approach and consider not just want you want if a resale is in the cards in the near future. Or don't and then whine to the broker waving receipts getting red faced and try to convince him how much you enjoy the pool. And hear them say in Northern Maine, with a shorter summer and a slug of lakes to enjoy, that a pool is not number on one the list for buyer hankerings. As a REALTOR, they know the market! You should too.
