There are a good number of buyers who are interested in buying a Carlsbad home with a pool. Given the number of Carlsbad homes with pools that are typically on the market, homebuyers will have a number of options, depending, of course, on their budget, location, size of house and the desired neighborhood.
Some buyers are willing to spend the necessary money to build a pool if the lot size allows it, but many want a pool already in place. And typically buyers who want a Carlsbad home with a pool are looking for a private pool, not a community pool. But that’s always an option with a number of the master planned communities in Carlsbad offering private residents’ clubs with pools.
Buyers looking for homes with pools for sale in Carlsbad should do their due diligence, and be willing to take on the ongoing maintenance issues, or pay a pool service to manage them. That also means checking on potential insurance costs. Other due diligence during the purchase process should include a full pool inspection so you understand the condition of the pool (and spa, if there is one) and any repairs or recommended improvements. And you might want to consider the additional utility and water costs you might incur, although most will argue the costs are outweighed by the advantages of having a pool.
It’s common here for buyers to ask for a 1-year home warranty to be provided by the sellers when making an offer. When requesting the home warranty you will want to specify that coverage for the pool and/or spa be included. Be sure to check with the home warranty provider to see if there is a higher cost if the pool is salt water since there could be pricing differences.
As a Carlsbad pool home buyer you should also check local Carlsbad restrictions regarding fencing (type, height, alarms) and other requirements. Keep in mind these may have changed from the time the house and pool were built. Some of this is just common sense and peace of mind for your family!
Carlsbad homes with pools offer many options, from elaborate to simple, so think about what’s important to you and how you want to use the pool and surrounding area. Keep in mind some features could be added if not already in place but consider these in your search:
slides and diving boards
water features
attached or detached spa
solar heat
salt water filtration systems vs. chlorine
exercise/lap pools
swim-up bars
vinyl vs. plaster
elaborate or minimal hardscape
Smart technology
Outdoor kitchen and entertaining area
