🏡 The Pros and Cons of Owning a Pool In Durham Region - Comflex Real Estate 

By James & Patrick Bryant | Comflex Realty

As the summer sun shines brighter, the idea of having a backyard pool becomes more tempting. Pools can be a fantastic feature for homeowners—but they also come with responsibilities. Whether you're buying or selling, here’s a balanced look at the benefits and drawbacks of owning a pool.

✅ Benefits of Owning a Pool

1. Lifestyle & Leisure
A pool offers a private space for relaxation, fun, and fitness. It’s ideal for family time, entertaining guests, or simply cooling off on a hot day.

2. Visual Appeal
A well-maintained pool can elevate your backyard’s appearance, creating a resort-like atmosphere that adds charm and character.

3. Potential Market Appeal
A pool can increase a home’s desirability and even its value.

4. Health & Wellness
Swimming is a low-impact, full-body workout that supports cardiovascular health and reduces stress—right in your own backyard.

❌ Drawbacks of Owning a Pool

1. Maintenance & Costs
Pools require regular cleaning, chemical treatments, and equipment upkeep. These tasks can be time-consuming and costly over time.

2. Safety Risks
Pools can pose safety hazards, especially for young children or pets. Proper fencing, covers, and supervision are essential.

3. Limited Seasonal Use

Pools are typically only usable for a few months each year. Winterizing and reopening the pool adds to the workload.

4. Insurance & Liability
Home insurance premiums may increase due to the added risk, and liability coverage is a must in case of accidents.
