(paghat) expounded:
But a pool filled up with dirt to grow carrots & lettuce certainly would
decrease property interest hence value. Removing the pool entirely, or
converting it to a biological pool in a maximumly aesthetic manner, would
be either a plus or a zero-sum impact, but a pool filled with dirt would
not be the crowning touch to insure a sale.
Absolutely true, also. There's a house around the corner from me that
the owner filled in the pool.....with concrete, if you can believe
that. Must have cost a fortune. Now they've got a huge block buried
in their yard, it's a patio, but boy, ya gotta really like that patio,
cuz it ain't going anywhere without a lot of effort!
