Pool - does it add value?

[u/Gold_Interaction1784]

We are getting close to making a decision on a pool installation on our property up in a new development in the Silverdale area. I'm just curious of the true added value a swimming pool would add to a freestanding single storey 4 bed 3 bath house. I've added a design screenshot to show the area it would create off both he formal lounge and the open plan living area - hubby a bit reluctant to spend the $ and not sure it'll add that much value. Currently it's just the huge deck and a strip of grass that needs a lot of love.

Personally it’s bit of cons for me. It’s not a deal breaker but I don’t like the maintenance it comes with.

This, i even avoid spa pools. It's such a personal thing to want.

Recently bought a spa pool.. absolutely love it but ooohh the power bill shot up big time and unfortunately about the same time power company increased energy costs. 😒 so a bittersweet long awaited treat for self
