In the heat of July, a pool looks like a dream to buyers in Sudbury and Weston. But as a seller, it comes with responsibilities.
Does a Pool Add Value?

Safety Compliance
- Fencing: Must meet height and gate-latch requirements.
- Alarms: Many towns require door alarms for any entrance leading to the pool area.
- Inspection: Ensure the liner and pump are in top shape before you list.
Thinking of selling a home with a pool? Let's make sure it's a selling point, not a liability.
