Will a Pool Increase the Value of My Home?

24 Apr Will a Pool Increase the Value of My Home?

Adding a pool to your backyard is one type of home improvement that can increase the value of your property on the Gold Coast. However, you need to set your expectations right.

That’s because not all pool installations will bring the result you are aiming for.  There are only a few instances where adding a pool to your house will actually increase the property value.

Conveniently, we have listed them all for you below:

The property is in a good location

The distance to the Gold Coast beaches is a big factor if adding a pool. If your home is close to the beach, then you can start talking to Gold Coast pool builders now because that’s what most home buyers want on their property. Those who are keen to have a beach lifestyle will be willing to spend more just as long it’s only a few steps away from the beach.

You have a large backyard

Adding a pool will also increase the value of your home if you have a large outdoor space. Most families and property buyers love houses with spacious yards and wouldn’t appreciate a pool taking up most of the outdoor area. So, build a pool on your property only if it will still leave a good yard space for people to move around.

Here are some reasons why you need a swimming pool on the Gold Coast. 

The pool price is just right

An expensive pool doesn’t guarantee an increase in your home’s value and the same is true for a cheaper product. Homebuyers see a high-priced pool as an unnecessary expense and may lose interest in the property. On the other hand, a pool that looks like it was built just for the sake of having one will definitely not draw any interest. Both instances could bring the value of your home down, so make sure to choose a pool with a reasonable price and a structure that is well integrated with your property.

Your neighbourhood demands it

A pool will also increase the value of your home if you live in a neighbourhood built for families with children. Also, if your home is in an area that’s popular with tourists, adding a swimming pool can be a good investment. It will attract interests from investors who are looking for possible rental properties for holidaymakers, driving the property’s value up.

You’re choosing the right type of pool

Not all types of pool will add value to your home. Although above-ground pools are cheaper and easy to build, they don’t appear to be a fixed part of a property and will, therefore, not increase its value. What you want to add is an inground concrete pool that is seamlessly integrated into your home because it will boost the market value of your property.
