Do swimming pools increase home values?

With temperatures set to approach summer highs, you’re thinking that a swimming pool could be the answer to staving off a household mutiny. Swimming pools are nice to enjoy but can be a hassle to own. Home buyers often view swimming pools as expensive to maintain and sometimes dangerous. In-ground pools can cost anywhere from $30,000 to more than $100,000—that's a significant amount of money to try to recoup when a house is sold. Put one in for your pleasure, but know that it’s unlikely to add significant value to your home and might even make it harder to sell. Here’s a list of home improvements that are sure to add value to your home.

Tootie Mrotek is an exceptional realtor. She was always available for questions and always responded with clear answers. Her insights were always on point and she is the reason we have the home that we have. She is friendly and kind and really helps to make stressful moments more relaxing. She is also very professional and detailed. I would recommend Tootie to anyone interested in buying a home.

Tootie Mrotek was extremely patient with us and provided a lot of options for us when we started to look for a new condo that met our expectations and requirements. She was always professional and personable. Living out of state, Tootie Mrotek was able to do all of the necessary paperwork online in a very timely manner. We were very lucky to have Tootie as our agent. I would highly recommend Tootie Mrotek to anyone needing to buy and/or sell a property.
