Selling Your Home But Stuck With an Old Pool?
Is an Aging Pool Hurting Your Home Sale?
In today’s competitive housing market, first impressions matter more than ever. For homeowners thinking of selling, an old, damaged, or unused pool can feel like a major roadblock. It raises red flags for buyers, can drive up home insurance costs, and often leaves sellers wondering: Should I fix it, remove it, or just hope someone takes it as-is?
The good news: you’re not stuck.
At The Pool Fill-In People, we specialize in helping homeowners remove the barriers (literally and figuratively) that come with outdated or dilapidated pools.
Why Pools Can Be a Barrier to Sale
While some buyers dream of having a backyard pool, many see them as a liability, especially if the pool needs repairs or hasn’t been used in years. Common buyer concerns include:
- Cost of maintenance and repair
- Safety issues for young children or pets
- Wasted yard space
- Higher insurance premiums
- Long-term upkeep responsibilities
In many cases, a pool that once added value now feels like a dealbreaker. Plus, it adds extra stress to an already stressful situation: selling a house.
We Help You Sell Smarter—By Removing the Obstacle
TPFIP offers fast, affordable pool removal and yard restoration services that can dramatically improve your home’s curb appeal and buyer interest.
Here’s how we can help:
- Full or partial pool removals to make the space usable again
- Clean, levelled yard restoration that photographs beautifully
- Collaboration with real estate agents to time the work for maximum listing impact
Bonus: In Some Cases, the Buyer Pays
In situations where the seller is up front about the pool being an issue, we can coordinate with the new homeowners to plan the fill-in and even explore having the buyer cover the cost as part of the sale negotiation.
We’ve done this before—and it’s often a win-win. Buyers get the yard they want, and sellers don’t have to handle the logistics (or the bill) alone.
