definitely adds value for Los Angeles homebuyers, especially in the Valley because it\u2019s hot outside most of the time,\u201d said Redfin agent <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/lindsay-katz\">Lindsay Katz<\/a>. \u201cPeople use their pools all year round; we have pool parties in the summer and go swimming on Christmas day. It\u2019s ingrained in our culture.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn some parts of Los Angeles, particularly in the San Fernando Valley, it\u2019s almost a given that a house will have a pool and the lack of a pool can make it harder to sell,\u201d Katz continued. \u201cNearly half of my listings have pools, and when they don\u2019t, potential buyers are constantly asking whether they can add a pool to the property. It\u2019s important to people.\u201d <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/14240\/AZ\/Phoenix\">Phoenix<\/a>, the story is a bit different. A pool adds $11,591 to the value of the typical home in the metro area, the lowest on the list of places where a pool provides a premium. Redfin agent <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/katie-shook\">Katie Shook<\/a> said there are some parts of the Phoenix area where a pool is highly valuable\u2014but in other places, it could detract from the value of a home. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn affordable parts of the Phoenix area like South Glendale and Tolleson, homebuyers don\u2019t want to pay to maintain a pool. I often find that in homes that sell for less than $200,000, a pool is a negative because it adds so many extra costs for the homeowner,\u201d Shook said. \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBut the reverse is true in the luxury market,\u201d Shook continued. \u201cIn the $700,000 to $1 million price range, especially in remote areas with more yard space, homebuyers expect a pool and they\u2019ll pay a premium for it.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/1826\/MA\/Boston\">Boston<\/a> was the only metro that both met the criteria to be included in this analysis and has cold, snowy winters. It\u2019s also \u00a0the only place where a pool meaningfully subtracts from the value of a home. A home in the Boston area with a pool is worth $15,484 less than a comparable home without a pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>See what these pools are worth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below, we\u2019ve calculated the estimated value of pools for select homes currently for sale.
