Buying Homes With Pools In Tucson

Many home buyers looking for real estate in Tucson look for homes with a pool or room to install a pool. Living in the desert a pool is comforting to relax in at the end of a long hot day and on weekends. A swimming pool is definitely an asset in the desert. There are two thoughts when it comes to pools.

The first is to buy a home with a lot large enough to install a pool. The advantage is the you get what you want. Depending on what part of Tucson you choose a pool’s value will change. The expense of installation is the same, but, the value will be different. The old real estate rule of location, location, location applies here. Installing a $55,000 pool in a $225,000 neighborhood doesn’t make a lot of sense. With the same consideration having a $7,000 pool installed in a $650,000 neighborhood makes little sense as well. Matching the quality of the pool to the neighborhood makes sense. A $75,000 negative edge pool overlooking the city with a Mediterranean blue pebble tech finish, a lighted water fall over boulders and landscaping to give that oasis or beach feeling in a $1.5 million dollar home would definitely add a lot of value.

The disadvantage of installing a pool yourself is that the return on invested dollar will not be recovered as quickly. The location and value of the home will also impact on the recognized value of the home. In an affluent neighborhood will benefit more from a pool than an economic neighborhood.

The second option is to find a home with a pool. Again, this depends on the neighborhood. In neighborhoods where most of us commoners live, letting the previous owner flip the bill is a good decision. In a neighborhood with luxury homes a poorly designed pool can be a deterrent to value. In which case you would want to thoughtfully install your own pool. One that compliments the home and invites the owners and guest to want to be outdoors.

If you are considering having a swimming pool installed in Tucson, the winter is a good time to get the best price.
