Demand for Pools, Hot Tubs Surging Due to COVID-19<\/h1>\n

New in-ground residential pools saw a 21% uptick in 2020 compared to 2019. States like Arizona, Texas, and Florida saw permits rise by up to 30%, Janay Rickwalder, a spokesperson for the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, an industry research group, told The Escape Home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is historic growth for the industry\u2014the next closest period was in 1983 with 16% growth over a much smaller base,\u201d Rickwalder says.<\/p>\n

Hot tubs are also in demand, with some areas reporting a 400% uptick. Manufacturers are reporting a six-month wait to fulfill hot tub orders. On pools, Pool & Hot Tub Alliance members report they\u2019re already contracted out with new orders to fulfill even into 2022.<\/p>\n

Since the pandemic, real estate professionals are reporting pools have become a major selling point. Pools also have become one of the most popular keyword searches on real estate listing sites.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe demand is there\u2014a result of people realizing the quality of life and how having a swimming pool right outside their backyard really creates a vacation where you know you have total control,\u201d Kelly McKelvey, spokesperson at Northeast Spa & Pool Association, told The Escape Home.<\/p>\n

Pools can also make a difference for investor properties. For Airbnb, VRBO, and short-term rental properties, homes with pools may have the advantage. Sara Jennen, a real estate investor in Cabot, Ark., reports that she\u2019s been able to charge about $200 more per night for her property with a pool than a comparable property that does not have one. Further, Jennen says she\u2019s made around $20,000 more this year on her short-term rental and a portion of that premium she credits to having a pool.<\/p>\n

A 2019 study conducted by LendingTree found that homes with swimming pools can be valued up to 54% higher than those without one. The median home with a pool was valued at $469,187, while the median home without a pool was valued at $305,152. The highest premium for a swimming pool was found in Memphis, according to the study.
