As the weather heats up, home buyers may be considering purchasing a home with a pool. Here's a short list of pros and cons.
PRO: A pool may add extra value to the property
PRO: Years of personal enjoyment
CON: It's difficult to estimate what pool repairs may be needed during a basic home inspection. If the home is a short sale or foreclosure, the pool may be sitting for months neglected, and cost more than the buyer initially estimated.
CON: Adding a pool to an existing home is usually not a good idea for a buyer who doesn't plan to live in the home long term. Buyers will usually never recoup the costs of adding this amenity.
