Homes in Australia have experienced a healthy growth in their costs over the past few years, and thanks to government grants for new home buyers there’s never been a better time to buy a property before prices skyrocket out of control. Many people put this down to an influx of international buyers, but whatever the cause – those that own a property right now will undoubtedly stand to benefit from their assets when it comes time to selling in the future.
Even the smallest homes purchased decades ago have seen a huge increase in their values as of 2016, so it’s only logical that the value of larger properties have experienced a greater increase (in many instances tens of thousands of dollars at the minimum). It’s not just the properties themselves that have seen a healthy increase in their value; there’s also the ability to enhance this amount by modifying and adding particular features.
There are many ways to improve the value of a property, from the renovation of particular rooms to installing garages, sheds and other features. Of these features, one stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of investment return – and that’s a swimming pool.
