More than a million of pools are scattered throughout the territory with some concentrations on the South. Simply fly over the area of Perpignan and Marseille to see blue rectangles laid before each House. And it takes dream of these magnificent bastides in sea flanked to Weir pool where the water in the pool seems to jump in the Mediterranean. The South is however not the preserve of the basin. Northern and Western also claim the right to swim or play in its own pool in large waves of heat: last year, the installation of swimming pools in half north of the France recorded a jump of 15.
It must be said that the pool has swapped its status as luxury item reserved for wealthy clients against the almost undercover and used commercial product for user-friendly purposes. A survey conducted by the Federation of professionals in the pool (PPF) on incentives for purchase reveals that 54.5 of purchasers do to enjoy with family and friends, 19.8 as part of games for children, 14.3 to be cool and 1.6 only to enhance their home. The impact can be random on the selling price and variable depending on the region, the importance of the basin, its State...

Essential or not
In some regions such as Southeast, where the beaches are narrow, often made of pebbles and inaccessible until traffic is hellish, the pool is indispensable for the lower House. And his absence may be frankly fatal as the rules of urban planning are tightening and might allow only small areas. In this perspective, the houses with a beautiful swimming pool are eligible for a slight adjustment of the order of 5 to 8, or even 10 if the pool is large and equipped with accessories.
On transactions of very high level around Cannes, Antibes, Eze, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat or hinterland, the impact of the swimming pool plays only if it reflects the image of the villa, which is a large pool to overflow, a submerged range, Weir... not to mention a house pool, a sauna, hammam. Person however is is to give the amount of potential value.
In the Southwest, in Biarritz, Stéphane Meunier, real estate agent, refuses also to quantify the potential rise induced by the presence of a swimming pool, but acknowledges that "in the same House, between that which is equipped with a swimming pool and that which is not there a price difference beyond the construction of the basin on a piscinable land, according to the dedicated Word." But when we buy the pool with the House, the décor is planted and the work already done, it is savings problems and nuisances and sale is realized with the turnkey pool. "A Arcangues, a villa of 180 m2 habitable with beautiful pool and 9,000 m2 of land proposed to 760,000 euros. Saint-Martin-de-Seignanx, ten minutes from Bayonne, a contemporary House 140 m2 habitable with swimming pool in form of bean and pool-house in a field of 2,000 m2 is for sale EUR 420.
Up the Atlantic coast, some stations such as Arcachon or Les Sables-D'olonne are not the subject of a real application, except in the backcountry where the pool is a comfort insofar as it avoids to go to the sea, but has very little impact on the price of sale of the House. In Normandy, "not very specific request but the presence of a swimming pool in Deauville or Commons around enables the property to sell more quickly and sometimes a little more expensive," said Pascal Le Bellego, of the Agency Century 21. Thus, Bénerville, a property of 250 m2 habitable with view on sea and vallon, 6,000 m2 of land with heated swimming pool with overflow, is selling 1.05 million euros. A Saint-Arnould, another House of 400 m2 with indoor swimming pool, hammam... displays 1.435 million euros.
To expedite the sale or beautify it, the pool must be in good condition. Otherwise, the future purchaser request a downward revision of the price, or even is devoid of the case.
