With the pandemic, pools have become a prized possession for many. Homes with pools are becoming increasingly popular as buyers want to spend more time at home. Despite the economic downturn, people are taking to pools like never before. Sales of pool equipment have tripled in recent years as Americans stay home and take advantage of what some may consider an unlikely luxury; a private swimming pool. For those lucky enough to own one, it’s become just that – a haven from reality where they can get away for hours with friends or family while maintaining their fitness routines between laps around the blue watery oasis at hand. In 2018, only 2% among realtors said that a pool helped to sell a home - probably because an average pool can cost between $3,000 to $5,000 per year to maintain, according to Home Advisor data. The upkeep and potential liability are tough to take on. Some insurance agencies recommend that homeowners should increase their liability coverage from the standard $100,000 to as much as $500,000. But now Americans have rediscovered how much fun a pool can be! Its sales tripled in just one year following the outbreak of avian influenza. This swimming pool hype is not only seen in locations with warmer climates. Even on the northeast side, pool buying has increased by 113%, according to Home Light. With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to restrict travel, buyers are thinking why not have a pool on their doorstep. It is clear that, even in these uncertain times, people are prepared to pay a premium for the privilege of having an indoor or outdoor pool of their own. Kelly McKelvey, the spokesperson at Northeast Spa & Pool Association, said the demand for swimming pools is the result of people realizing the quality of life and how a swimming pool right outside their backyard really creates a vacation where they know they have total control. Pools have become one of the most popular keyword searches on real estate listing sites. For investor properties, one advantage of homes with pools is that owners can charge about $200 more per night. Some real estate investors reported earning around $20,000 more from short-term rental because of having a pool in their property. Not to be outdone, hot tubs are also in demand. Some areas are reporting a 400% increase that manufacturers are reporting a six-month waiting period.
