Pool vs hot tub

[Pancho 46267]

building a house right now

really want a pool AND hottub, but hearing the upkeep with pools is a bitch. 

thought about hot tub only. 

which one is better?  does either ad value to the home?

If you don't want any more kids go hot tub

Probably won’t add much value. May or may not be a selling point some buyers must have and some absolutely don’t want a pool. 

 

Are you wanting a built built in hot tub or a free standing? We were going to do a built in hot tub and after talking to the builder adding a pool was not much more since all of the equipment pulls double duty.

Pool and/or hot tub does not return on the investment. If you want it, get it. I’d strongly recommend getting both, not one or the other. With the pool, you have summers. With the hot tub you have year round. We loved ours. Maintenance was an asswhip because something goes wrong all the time but most fixes were relatively simple.

I’d go with a pool and a pond. The pond would be good for you.

Get it/them because you want them. Resale shouldn't figure into it.
