The Advantages Of Buying Kelowna Area Houses With Swimming Pools

By Pamela Dennis


Buyers in search of Kelowna houses with pools may think of these properties as better value for money than the ones that do not have a pool. Because of the unstable economy, the sale of properties has decreased in the last few years. Waterfront houses tend to be more appealing to buyers as they have a higher chance of appreciation. If you are searching for a property in this area, here are some benefits of buying a house with a pool.

There is no denying that installing a pool will increase the aesthetic appeal of the property. An average looking home can be transformed into a luxury villa as the pool is usually the focal point of the garden. Families with young kids can splash in the water during hot summer days, while having privacy at the same time. When you invite guests over for a party or barbecue, you are sure to show them a good time. A pool is also great for cooling down during hot days or nights.

There are three types of pools that a property can have. Gunite construction is made of sand and concrete and can be laid out in many different shapes according to your desire. Gunite designs can be quite expensive, unlike above-ground constructions.

Vinyl is a popular material that is used in the making of swimming pools. Just before freezing temperatures come, you must remember to get the pool drained and covered. To install a vinyl pool, the ground must be excavated first with support walls. These walls are made of steel or fiberglass.

The present downturn in the economy has significantly reduced the number of property buyers. So much so that real estate professionals recommend people to install swimming pools in their homes in order to attract buyers. These types of homes tend to appeal to families that have young children, or those looking for a luxury condo.

Another factor to consider when selling your property is the benefit you will get during summer time when the hotter weather arrives and buyers tend to get more attracted to swimming pools. Those home buyers who have young families may also find a pool appealing and would be willing to pay more for such properties or villas. Summer is the perfect time for real estate investors to search for luxury villas and condos that are equipped with a swimming pool as most people nowadays prefer to sit by the pool at the comfort of their own homes.

Before proceeding with the purchase of your chosen house, make sure you ask the vendor about the upkeep costs for the pool. Although there are many professional services that can clean and maintain the quality of the water, the rates will vary depending on the size of the pool and its area. You should also take into account the water cost, fencing, and resurfacing that needs to be done every ten years.

If you wish to do all the pool maintenance yourself, make sure you calculate the cost of the chemicals first. Appointing a reliable service provider is more convenient as they will be responsible for the annual opening and closing of the swimming pool. Living with a pool does not need to be an expensive option as there are many affordable services in Kelowna area.
