The final graph in today's post shows the estimated value increase one should expect to find in a home with a pool (versus a similar one without it).

How swim pools impact the value of homes in Tallahassee

To prepare this graph, we took 18 years of sales data from the Tallahassee MLS and specifically chose homes that were fairly comparable by omitting ones that had features that would greatly impact the value.

We omitted new construction, lakefront homes, and homes on the golf course. Finally, we segmented the sales to homes with a swim pool and homes without a pool to compare the average sales price.

This graph is very useful when buying or selling a home with a pool, and it has been used to correct appraisals where the appraiser had undervalued the swim pool as a component of the home. Here's how to use the graph:

Right now, in September 2021, the additional value that a swimming pool adds to a home is averaging about $45K. So if you are involved in a transaction with a pool, you need to be able to apply this to the home in question.

First, you need to compare the home with the "average" home in Tallahassee. Right now, the average single-family detached home price is $316K, so if the home in question is near that price, then the pool should be valued at around $45K. If it is significantly higher, the pool should be valued above $45K. If the home is significantly lower, the pool should be valued at less than $45K. Make sure to check the appraisal to insure that the appraiser has made the appropriate adjustments to all homes without pools.

With today's low mortgage interest rates, this is likely the cheapest you will be able to buy a home with a pool at any time for the rest of your life. Go get your swim pool!
