What This Means
For sellers: A private pool adds a documented $185,000 median premium across Venice — and in 34293 (South Venice / Wellen Park area) that jumps to $205,000. With 100 pool homes closing in a single month, buyer demand is deep and real.
For buyers: Pool homes command a real premium but they're not overpriced — they're earning it. If a pool matters to you, budget $185K above what comparable non-pool homes are selling for.
