Checking Out The Advantages Of Purchasing Kelowna Houses With Swimming Pools

By Pamela Dennis


Due to the unstable real estate market, the number of property buyers has dramatically reduced in the last couple of years. The demand for waterfront homes however, has grown as many local buyers prefer Kelowna houses with pools. If you are considering moving to this area, here are some advantages to buying a house with a pool.

Having a pool transforms the property aesthetically. From an average looking house, it becomes picture perfect. The pool is the focal point of the yard as well as the envy of neighbors. For recreation purposes, families can enjoy splashing in the water and play many water games. The other benefits include the convenience of not worrying about spending time in public pools as you have one in your own backyard. There is also nothing more relaxing than basking in the sun in the patio after a hectic day.

When you are searching for a property that has a pool, you may consider different types of pools that are most desirable. Gunite construction is one such design, which is a pool-sized hole that is made of concrete and sand mixture. Unlike above-ground designs, this is only a temporary option.

The vinyl design is rectangular, but some properties do have other configurations. This design is less expensive than gunite as it is lined with vinyl. However, you should know that a replacement will be necessary every ten years.

Because of the current state of the economy, the number of Kelowna property buyers has substantially decreased in the past few years. Real estate agents suggest that the best way to increase the chances of selling your property is to install a swimming pool. Generally, families who do not want a pool are not likely to view the property in the first place.

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 ideal property, ask the vendor about the monthly maintenance charges that incur for the pool. Many professional service providers offer routine cleaning of the water, however, the rates may vary depending on the pool's size and its location. You can find these services online or locally. All you need to do is carry out a little research on water costs, fencing, and resurfacing so that you can set aside a budget. Resurfacing must be done around every 10 years. Make sure you write all the questions you have and seek for the answers from the seller.

There are also costs for water-filtration equipment repair and replacement of a pump, as well as taking out liability insurance. But if you wish to handle the maintenance work yourself, make sure you find out exactly what chemicals you need. Living with a pool need not be a burden when you opt to hire a professional service to help you.
