Quick projects for any budget that will really make your pool stand out.
Having a pool is a major selling feature for a home. With this guide from Realtor.com, you can make sure yours looks the best for your listing photos by accomplishing some small upgrades that don’t take much time or money.
An Hour Or Less
Make sure that the pool and pool deck are clean and free of yard debris, toys, floats, towels, etc. If you have a storage container or shed for pool equipment and accessories, make sure that it is clean and tidy.
Buyers now are placing a higher value than ever on flexible living spaces. For minimal cost you can create a feeling of indoor-outdoor living by purchasing a few potted plants and placing them around the pool. In their article, Realtor.com recommends making sure they are plants that can deal with harsh direct sun and are tough enough to stand up to occasional chlorine or saltwater splashes.
More Than An Hour
Though it takes slightly longer than a simple cleaning, Realtor.com recommends that homeowners trim back any trees or bushes that shade out the pool or regularly drop leaves into it.
Make sure that the water is at the appropriate level so that it looks full, inviting, and well maintained in photos.
If you have more than a couple of hours, Realtor.com suggests that it is a good idea to make sure that the hardscaping around the pool is clean and safe for use around the pool.
Taking care of even just a few of these projects will certainly improve the appearance of your pool area, and they result will be more appealing photos for buyers.
