Checking Out The Benefits Of Purchasing Kelowna Houses With Pools

By Pamela Dennis


Investing in real estate is a good idea as long as the buyer does not have to endure the highs and lows of the property market. When it comes to long term investments, many local buyers prefer Kelowna houses with pools rather than without. These waterfront properties are highly appealing as they gain appreciation. If you are buying in this area, here are some of the top benefits of 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.

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 designs tend to be popular in areas that have warmer temperatures during winter, although you can easily drain them during the cold season. To prepare the ground for the installation, you will need support walls that are made of durable materials such as fiberglass or aluminum. Vinyl is more expensive than gunite but it lasts much longer.

Due to the crash of the real estate market, the number of potential buyers has dropped in the past few years. Nonetheless, there are still some appealing factors for possible buyers. Real estate brokers suggest that families may prefer to buy a house that has a pool for entertainment purposes; therefore the chances of selling such properties are much higher.

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.

If you have decided to buy a Kelowna property, make sure you ask the seller about the maintenance costs for the pool. There may be a charge to pay for a professional company to service the pool. This includes cleaning and maintaining the chemical balance of the water. Find out about these costs before proceeding with the purchase.

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.
