I would love for you to explain/show the process of removing a pool (as you mentioned in your narrative). A pool is a deal killer for me, so would like to understand what’s involved in removing one of those things. Thanks.
Bill McBride’s comments about the possibility of another recession bothers me.
About the pool…I recall a couple that converted their pool into a Greenhouse and actually supplemented their food for their family significantly. I’m too lazy to Google it, but that’s an option.
me,
Pools shouldn’t be a deal killer for anyone. At California home prices, the cost of filling in or completely removing a pool isn’t even significant.
Agreed.
The U-T featured a guy who said he was filling pools for $5,000 to $10,000. I think if you hadf easy access for a bobcat tractor to bring dirt to the backyard, and about $15,000 you’d be fine.
I am looking for candidates – if anyone wants to buy a house with a pool and do the demo/fill, I’d like to watch.
No thanks, Jim. I have a pool where I live now and like it fine. It wasn’t a decisive factor for me one way or the other, Room for a good vegetable garden was a lot more important to me. And I like the transcription, “Rob Dough” has several layers of irony.
I also liked the idea of flooding the market with Oreos.
