Homes With Pools Are A Market Of Their Own
Did you ever wonder how many homes in Tallahassee have swimming pools? For some reason this thought hit me at 5:15 a.m. this morning, and I became curious about their impact on the Tallahassee housing market. I did find some interesting (after a cup of coffee) information and created a few real estate graphs to show what's going on with homes with pools in Tallahassee.
First of all, I created a great resource page for pool homes in Tallahassee. If you want to know anything about the homes currently listed for sale that have pools, just go to the Tallahassee Pool Homes page and you can search an "always current" list of homes for sales that have swimming pools. I broke even created a few custom searches so that you can target your search.

Tallahassee Pool Home Sales Report
Currently, there are 2,565 homes for sale in Tallahassee, and 397 of these (15.5%) have pools. The following graph shows homes for sale by price range, and divides them based upon whether or not they have a pool.
The higher end of the price ranges not surprisingly have more pools than do the lower ends.
But the real question I wanted to answer was how do pools affect the value of a home? Do they add as much value as their cost? Could they possibly reduce the value of a home? How does one go about finding these answers ...
Pool Home Values In Tallahassee
I downloaded all of the home sales in the Tallahassee MLS from May of 2010 through April of 2011, and then removed the duplicates and then sorted them by size. The following real estate graph shows a surprising result in one of the size ranges.
This report shows that homes under 1,000 square feet (this includes condominiums with association pools) see an increase in value of just under $13K for homes with pools versus those without. The number is similar for homes between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet. But then things get crazy.
Homes between 1,000 square feet and 2,000 square feet show homes selling with pools for about $15K less than homes that do not have pools. Huh? And then homes greater than 3,000 square feet see a positive differential of roughly $70K. This feedback is somewhat startling, so I will find some time in the future to further explore the real value a pool adds (or reduces) to the value of a home.

Discussion
Pools tend to be built on lots that have more land which might also affect the price of the home.
