As we enter into summer with more confinement than usual, many of those who are looking to buy homes are hoping to find a home with a private swimming pool. St. George has always been a place where homes with swimming pools are highly sought after due to our fabulously warm and sunny weather. Now homes with pools are almost a must-have as the pandemic rolls on through the hot weather months. 
Before the pandemic, with its social distancing, and limited capacity rules, homeowners without pools could just find a public beach or swimming pool, hop in the car, and take a day to go swimming in a public place without a care.
