We reviewed data for over 14,000 homes sold in the last 365 days across 15 different cities in Texas. For houses between 2000 and 3500 square feet, our data shows the median total days on market to be 16 days for homes without a pool, but only 13 days for homes with a pool. Owning a pool reduces the total days on market by 3 days, a decrease of 19%.
This effect becomes more pronounced as square footage increases. For homes between 3000 and 3500 square feet, for example, the total days on market was reduced by 38% for homes with a pool vs those without. On the lower end, there was no difference in total days on market for homes between 1000 and 2000 square feet.
So, do homes with a pool sell faster? The answer is yes, owning a pool will generally reduce total days on market for larger houses, and the amount of improvement is highly dependent on the size of the house. For pool owners, the biggest reduction in days on market is seen on homes larger than 3000 square feet in size.
Should You Invest in a Pool for Your Home?
Ultimately, the decision to invest in a pool for your home should be based on a careful consideration of the potential benefits, costs, and your personal preferences. While a well-maintained pool can be a significant selling point and contribute to a faster home sale, it's important to weigh the upfront and ongoing expenses against the potential return on investment.
