How much does adding a pool to a home, increase it's value?
Answered by Steve Rath
Short Answer
Thanks for reaching out with your pool question. The honest answer is that a pool's impact on value really depends on your market, the neighborhood, and what comparable homes are doing — in some areas it adds meaningful value, while in others it mostly adds enjoyment rather than a dollar-for-dollar return.
