Wellen Park's $125,000 Pool
How did pool and no-pool resale prices compare in Wellen Park?
How did pool and no-pool resale prices compare in Wellen Park?
The September 30 episode reports a $125,000 gap between typical closed prices for pool and no-pool resales in its 2,000–2,500-square-foot group. That is a comparison between groups of homes, not an appraisal adjustment or a promise that adding a pool creates $125,000 in value.
The evidence in this episode
| Reporting period and size group | Preceding 12 months; 2,000–2,500-square-foot resales |
|---|---|
| Typical pool-home sale price | $675,000 |
| Typical no-pool sale price | $550,000 |
| Separate smaller-home timing comparison | No pool: 96 days; pool: about 69 days |
Pool status can help define the right competitive group. A buyer who does not need a private pool may find a different set of choices, while a seller should first compare with homes offering similar outdoor amenities. The video also describes a timing comparison for smaller homes; that is a separate group from the 2,000–2,500-square-foot price comparison.
How to apply it to your decision
1. Match the whole property
Compare village, size, age, lot, view, condition, and outdoor improvements alongside pool status. A group-level gap can contain several differences at once.
2. Price the ownership decision
For a pool home, investigate maintenance, equipment condition, and any work needed. For a no-pool home, assess whether community amenities meet your needs before treating a private pool as essential.
3. Use property-specific evidence if considering a new pool
Obtain current feasibility and installation information and relevant comparable sales. A historical difference between groups is not an estimate of construction cost or return on investment.
What this comparison can—and cannot—tell you
The episode does not isolate the pool as the sole cause of the price difference. Its timing comparison is for smaller homes and should not be presented as the timing result for the larger price-comparison group.
