Let’s jump in and answer some specific questions about above-ground pools and the value that they may or may not add to the price of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nHow Much Value Does an Above-ground Pool Add to Your Home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Not much if any value will be added to your home from an above-ground pool. The industry standard recommendation for sellers to consider is that an inground concrete pool could add 7%-8% in value to your home but this does not apply to above-ground pools.<\/strong> Even inground pools that are much more expensive and are permanent structures add value to a home. The only time that this is an exception is if the pool is built indoors. You have more of a chance of your pool being appealing and adding value to your home in areas that have year-round swimming weather temperatures like Florida, California, Arizona, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your home does have value-added from your above-ground pool, it will be up to the individual appraiser to determine how much value it does add. This wouldn’t be a simple answer I could give you in an article like this, each appraisal is on a case-by-case basis. I can guarantee though, you will not get close to the money you spent on your pool and surrounding area added to the value of your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The appraisal of your home is specifically up to each individual appraiser. Some appraisers may add value if your above-ground pool is partially or fully buried as I mentioned above or built indoors. Even inground pools that have over $100,000 invested into them may not add value to a home. Compare that to above-ground pools which aren’t permanent even when buried and cost far less. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The appraiser will most likely consider the overall area that has been built onto the home with the pool. How do the landscaping, decking, and pool all work together to create an attractive ambiance for prospective buyers looking for a new home? If it all works together to create this stunning oasis then it is possible it could add some slight value in the eyes of an appraiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I can really see it both ways for the appraiser though. Having a pool built at a home will remove that home from the list of possible purchases for certain home buyers who have no desire to take on the liability of a pool in their backyard or the time and attention a pool requires in ongoing maintenance and upkeep. I can certainly see how this would lower the value and its overall worth in the eyes of the appraiser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A house typically will not be worth more in the terms of value with or without a pool. A pool on a home that is up for sale should be considered more of a feature that might encourage a sale for those buyers who do want a pool.<\/strong> But the buyers are getting this pool at a cheap price in comparison to what you paid for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I would say having an inground pool most likely will not devalue your home if it is in a warmer climate area and is attractive to the eyes. In colder climate areas where the pool will only be used at certain times of the year, it might be a toss-up if prospective buyers consider your pool a great feature or an extra burden in their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDoes a Pool Add Value to Your Appraisal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
