Like The Weather, Swimming Pools Are HOT

Are Homes With Pools A Good Deal Right Now?

It's funny, but homes with pools (compared to homes with no swimming pools) do not always sell at the same rate. This graph measures the "swimming pool premium," which is the difference in value between homes with pools and homes without pools.

graph measures the

The blue bars measure the average price per square foot of homes with pools while the brown bars measure the same for homes without pools. So how do we use this information?

First of all, the actual value of each has little value, because there are so many other value factors that determine what homes are worth. For example, a home with a pool in a subdivision probably won't do as well as a home without a pool on a hundred acres, right?

We use the change in the relative values above to get an idea of whether or not buyers are currently favoring homes with swimming pools. Thus far in 2021, they do not appear to be doing so, as pool homes are selling for about the same value as are homes with no pools. This means that pool homes are a value buy today, though not as strongly as in some years where they actually sold (relatively speaking) for less.

Current Value Of Homes With Swimming Pools

The overall housing market is hot, and this definitely includes homes with swimming pools. The graph below measures the average price per square foot of existing homes with swimming pools.

Existing home values with swimming pools
