Let’s take a look at how having a hot tub impacts the value of your home. Hot tubs can be an investment for your property and can fit almost any budget. Hot tubs can be purchased for anywhere from $3,000 to $20,000.

But like any part of your home, how you care for it determines if it will have a positive effect on your home’s value, should you decide to sell it.

Hot Tubs at Permanent Residences

Portable hot tubs can be moved and for that reason may be considered personal property that can be taken with the homeowner when they leave the property. However, some homeowners decide to include their hot tub with the sale of their home.

Local Realtor Jim Forbus, of KRCH Realty in Reno, said about a quarter of the homes he sells have hot tubs that are sold with the house.

“A hot tub or spa, over a pool, is much more desirable,” he said, because you can use it daily and almost any time of the year.

He also has a hot tub at his own home.

Hot Tubs at Vacation Homes

Hot tubs are also very desirable at vacation destinations, which make up a large portion of the areas we serve, including Lake Tahoe and Santa Cruz.

Vacation homes with hot tubs are much more likely to be rented than those without, making a hot tub a worthwhile investment. In those cases, hot tubs certainly increase property or rental value.

Added Value

Here at The Spa and Sauna Company, we commonly work with realtors and homeowners who purchase a hot tub to feature at a property to add value.

Recently, we had a customer come in to purchase a used Hot Spring Spa for their Graeagle property.

He had a deck which had a hole in it, because he had removed a hot tub from it.

Upon trying to sell the home, a few potential buyers remarked that the deck would be great, if it had a hot tub in it. He came in and bought one, and not long after, the property sold.

Maintenance

Like anything, how you care for a hot tub will determine if it adds value when you sell the property and hot tub.

Forbus said he recently worked with someone who had a hot tub that not well maintained and decided to remove it before listing the property.

Even so, with the popularity of hot tubs, having the wiring available for a hot tub hook up can be a selling bonus too.

“It it’s nice, I definitely feature it,” he said, of hot tubs that come with homes he sells.

To wrap up, hot tubs can be a definite bonus when living in or selling a home. And should you need assistance with hot tub cleaning and routine maintenance, click here for more info. We’re happy to help.

Anytime you want a hot tub is the best time to buy a hot tub, but as far as deals go, May (and most of the summer) is the very best time to buy. Let us tell you why!

Sales

At The Spa and Sauna Company, the most sales from the most manufacturers are available in May, July and September.

That is because our manufacturers have studied the industry trends and noticed May is when most people like to buy hot tubs.

As a result, you can frequently find an Added Value Package Sale, a Rebate Sale, or a Showroom Sale in May at any of our 5 locations.

There are also frequent sales throughout the summer, through Labor Day.

Landscaping Season

Why May, you might ask? Well, it comes down to the weather, at least in Nevada and California, where we have 5 showrooms for all of your hot tub needs. As the weather heats up, and people start thinking about backyard landscaping, hot tubs typically come to mind as well.

A lot of people associate hot tub fun with cold weather, but hot tubs are enjoyable year-round. Planning now means your hot tub will be ready and in your backyard by the time the cold fall and winter weather arrive, and most likely it will be there much sooner.

Environment

Being in a high-desert, at least in Nevada, means you can expect cool mornings, warm days and cool nights. It’s the perfect time to enjoy grilling and then a soak in your hot tub as the weather cools down.

Many hot tubs also have a feature where you can make the water cool too, if you want to take your soak during the daytime.

New Hot Tub Models

By May, the new hot tub models for the year are available. If one of those interests you, it is the perfect time to buy it.

But, if having the newest model isn’t an incentive for you, you can also get great close-out specials on the previous year’s models that are still in the showroom. And you might be able to get them at a discount and into your backyard sooner, because you don’t have to wait for them to be ordered.

As we approach our big sale season, we hope a hot tub will come in to your mind and we can help you get the perfect hot tub for you into your backyard.

So, you’ve been thinking about a hot tub. Maybe you’ve consulted our Hot Tub Buyer’s Guide, which can be found Here. Maybe you’ve done some research online. Maybe you’ve used a friend’s or family member’s hot tub, and you like theirs.

But have you started planning to put a hot tub in your backyard?

As a courtesy, we offer a unique service, called a Backyard Consultation, which is a complimentary no-obligation visit from a salesperson where you can discuss optimal hot tub placement in your yard, and desired privacy and view. Simply fill out a form on our website and one of our hot tub specialists will be in touch. You can find the form Here.

After filling out the form, one of our hot tub specialists will contact you by email to set up an appointment.

We’re willing to come to you and your own backyard, in the Northern Nevada area, Northern California area, or the Bay area in California. A backyard consultation can be done before or after picking out your hot tub in one of our 5 showrooms.

Here are some of the topics we will discuss:

Hot Tub Placement

Our hot tub experts will help you find the best location for your hot tub. We will also help you find the ideal direction to face the hot tub. Have you considered which way the sun hits your backyard at the time you think you will be using your hot tub most?

We have advice about placement of the hot tub cover and cover lifter also. You will want your hot tub cover and cover lifter to be easy to use. We can also help you find the correct side, so you don’t block any desired views.

And, if you don’t already have one, we can make suggestions about the type of hot tub pad that will be best for you.

Hot Tub Needs

Have you considered what size hot tub you want? What about shape?

While most hot tubs we offer at The Spa and Sauna Company are about 7 feet by 7 feet and square or rectangular in shape, we do have some uniquely shaped and smaller or larger hot tubs to fit your needs as well. Some hot tubs are round, triangular or even diamond shaped. And we have hot tubs that can fit as few as two people, or as many as eight.

Our hot tub experts can direct you to the questions you need to ask yourself to find your ideal hot tub. If you haven’t already made your hot tub purchase, we can bring recommendations and brochures.

Electrical

What about electrical? We will explain how to set up your hot tub, its placement & voltage that will be needed. Most of the hot tubs we sell require 220 volt electrical hook ups, but we also offer hot tubs that work with a standard 110 volt outlet. We can even provide you with a list of electrical, concrete and crane vendors we have worked with in the past.

Delivery

At The Spa and Sauna Company, we always deliver your hot directly to your preferred location in your backyard. At your Backyard Consultation, we’ll evaluate if any special equipment is needed for your hot tub delivery. Most of our hot tubs are delivered by a delivery crew, that places the hot tub on a sled and brings it to your backyard, but the occasional delivery requires a larger delivery crew or even a crane.

Have you seen what’s new in hot tubs? Is your hot tub starting to become a little less appealing due to its age? Is your hot tub from the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, or even the early 2010s?

While a quality hot tub can last decades, hot tub technology has come a long way in recent years. Some of our customers still have the same hot tub they bought in the 1980s, but others like to trade in for a newer model every 7 to 10 years. Regardless of which kind of hot tub owner you are, investing in a top-quality, high-end hot tub is the best way to ensure that your hot tub can go the distance.
