2015 is shaping up to be a year of record-breaking weather. In fact the first six months of this year were the hottest during the warmest twelve-year stretch in the 136 years that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has been keeping records. Given the heat of this summer, this thought may have crossed the minds of many people in the South: “How nice it would be to have our own pool for family and friends to enjoy.”
Have you ever gazed out the window of an airplane when approaching a Florida airport and tried to count how many houses have an inground swimming pool in their backyards? According to a recent Trulia survey, thirty-eight percent of Americans say that their dream home would include a backyard retreat with a swimming pool. Trulia’s chief economist found that a home with a pool can add up to 20% to a home’s value in the Florida market, according to data as of September 2015. The results also have shown that a pool is used as a selling point when listing a property over thirty percent of the time, which helps moves the house off the market much quicker than a home without a pool. The demand for a home with a pool in the Florida market is around forty five percent.
The inground pools built today make maintenance and upkeep very convenient with minimal effort, giving you more time to enjoy the pool with your family.
