We are juts starting to prep our 15 year old house for sale next year. It has the usual 15 year old house issues, paint, trim, wear n tear that one would expect and we are going to spiff all of that up.
We also have a15 year old pool with the usual 15 year old issues. It will soon need a new plaster job, has wear n tear, everything works but the equipment is old and near the end of its normal life...BUT still works.
We have never bought or sold a house with a pool. Do most homes with pools sell the pool AS-IS or are you expected to do the typical repairs , fluffs you would don a house ? I am NOT going to spend $8,000 to replaster only to sell the thing and I would think that the new owner would want to pick his own plaster finish. I'malso not going to spend $600 on a new Zodiak just because mine is almost worn out ( but still kinda works) . The remote needs upgrade ...on and on...I would really like to sell AS-IS especially since the value of pool is never reflected in the asking price. Several realtors tell me that there is very little add on for a house with a pool vs the same house without .
What say y'all ??
