The economics in the Villages with respect to pools seems to be different than everywhere else in the planet. In most places the pools don't add much to the value of a home, because as many people don't want them as do.
But in the Villages its different. If you search listing in either MLS or on thevillages.com you will find asking prices for homes with pools are $100-$150K more than similar homes without pools.
The cheapest home right now on thevillages.com that is at least 1700 SF and has a pool is $750K.
There are also a couple of small 1200SF cottages for sale with small pools for which they are asking $575K.
Also, because there are so few pool homes on the market relative to the total number of listings. They probably sell fast. I only counted 26 pools homes for sale on thevillages.com.
