Hello All,
We are looking to purchase our retirement home in the Palm Springs area this summer. We have vacationed there several times and always enjoy sitting by the pool, especially on hot summer days.
Questions:
1) Do you regret having or not having a pool and spa? This question is especially for those living in the Palm Springs area or other desert/hot climates (e.g. Phoenix, Las Vegas, etc.).
2) Thoughts on having a pool and spa installed after home purchase vs buying an existing home with pool in order to let someone else pay for the high cost of installation? Typical cost of pool with spa installation?
3) Cost for heating? FYI, the desert can get quite cool at night in winter, requiring heating in order to use.
4) Anyone use solar pool heating?
Many thanks!
