This week's hot temperatures might have you daydreaming about a new home with a giant pool. You've got a decent chance of finding one in metro Atlanta.
Zoom in: 30% of metro Atlanta homes on the market have a pool in the backyard, up slightly compared to 2019, according to Realtor.com.
The big picture: Nationwide, one in four listings offered a pool in April — a record high, according to the real estate site.
They're most common in sweltering Miami, Phoenix, and Orlando, Florida, but Atlanta ranks higher than the national average.
Many metros seeing the biggest jumps, including Las Vegas and Houston, were homebuilding hot spots in recent years, where pools are a popular perk.
Yes, but: The price premium for homes with pools — which tend to be larger and often sit in pricier neighborhoods — is slipping back to pre-pandemic levels, Realtor.comreports.
By the numbers: The typical asking price boost is now roughly 21% per square foot compared to homes without pools, down from a 26% peak in 2022.
