How Pools and Landscaping Add Value to your Home

Adding a pool to your home can not only add hours of entertainment for you and your family but can also increase the property value of your home

Adding a pool to your home can not only add hours of entertainment for you and your family but can also increase the property value of your home. Depending on the type of pool you decide to build and how you style it, adding a pool can be a big level up to your value.

When thinking of adding a pool to your home, there are two choices: above ground and inground. These two types of pools have quite a big difference between them. Even though an inground pool’s cost is higher and they often require more attention, they give you the most bang for your buck. 

While other factors are involved, it’s been said that above ground pools often deter buyers rather than bring in potential homebuyers. (Source: candadianrealestatemagazine.ca)

As with the right pool, adding residential landscaping to your home is a great way to add value. Whether you’re preparing to sell, or just want your yard looking it’s best. The changes don’t need to be huge to be impressive! Affordable and straightforward upgrades can include mulching the garden, putting in a stone walkway, or repaving the driveway.

Curb appeal is what potential buyers notice first. Repeated data shows curb appeal, in the form of attractive landscaping, goes a long way. Sellers can gain anywhere from 5% to 12% more value to their home. So don’t skip out on this important way to add value to your home. (Source: bhg.com)
