Do Decks and Pools Add Value to Your Home?

Oct 26, 2018 | Posted by Laurie Williamson | Arlington MA | 0 comments |

All Decked Out
Decks aren’t a cheap investment but they do pay off. Having a deck makes it feel like you’re providing more livable space in your home, without incurring the extra costs to provide heat or A/C.

What kind of return on your investment will you see with a deck? Depending on the material, size and scope of the project, you can see upwards of an 80 per cent of the price of the deck reflected in the new value of the home.

For those of you with existing decks in need of a little refresh (replacement boards, stairs, or railings), you’re in luck: Deck restoration projects tend to be much less expensive than new builds, but can recover the cost of the project upwards of six times.

Take the Plunge

You won’t see a monetary return on your pool investment once you factor in all the extra costs to maintain it.

If you plan to stay in the home and enjoy the pool for years to come, take the plunge. But it’s not a project worth taking on if you’re looking to add value.

Value comes from two places:
1- how much enjoyment you get out of the new structure
2- how much resale value it adds to your home.

Even if one of these items won’t give you the financial return you thought it might — if it’s something you’ll use and love for years to come — well, that’s value too.

Goals

In every Real Estate transaction, I strive to make those I work with have a terrific experience. My goal is to have my clients want to refer me to all their friends and relatives. When somebody is thinking about local Real Estate, my goal is to be remembered for my dedication to the business. Referrals are my biggest source of business. ~ Laurie Randazzo Williamson
