Swimming Pool Businesses and Landscaping Businesses are Dramatically Affected by Unavailable Loans

By: Christopher Griffin

There are many industries; businesses locally and nationally that are suffering indirectly because of our economic state. The stock market as well as the real estate market is the top issues talked about, followed in close second by the loan and banking industries. In addition, because of the recent economic decline many major U.S. businesses that employ many Americans are being heavily affected.

Experts will concur that the housing market has taken a tremendous hit, and the housing in Phoenix, AZ sits at the center of this issue. Loan applicants are quickly finding out that their home is valued at tens of thousands of dollars less than what it was just twenty four months before. Bank repossessions are up 150%, and there are some cases of owners simply leaving negative equity homes.

For the Americans who think that they are not affected by unemployment, the decline in the real estate market and stock market will eventually see how wrong they are. Most people do not wish to invest in the stock market today, but rather keep the money they have in their homes. Loans for home improvement will mostly come from a local bank, credit agency or from credit unions. Lately most potential buys did not have these programs available to them for home improvements, landscaping projects and swimming pools.

Around 70% of the swimming pool buyers will need financial aid or loans and this is why the Phoenix swimming pool industry has been hurt very badly. These buyers without financial aid or loans cannot buy pools or spas and will usually buy a smaller less costly pool. Pool companies in Arizona state are under a hard struggle, this is because of the bad finical state the economy is in which is causing many of these companies to shut down, downsize, or invest in other business ventures. However, some very intelligent pool companies are earning a lot of extra cash by offering other various services such as landscaping, hardscaping, and even pool remodeling. There are those businesses that have actually switched their whole industry trying to do something new to make money. Nevertheless, there are even some companies in Arizona they have expanded into doing hardscapes for people like outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, barbecues and patios.

Some Arizona pool and Phoenix Landscaping contractors have figured out the technique of offering many assorted services to customers years ago. By doing so, these contractors have been able to offer customers many different options and services in the home improvement industry because of their diversity as a Phoenix pool builder, general contractor, and landscaping contractor. "My company has been able to make things work despite these tough times, luckily we diversified a few years prior, and have many different aspects of swimming pools and landscape services to offer our clients. However, the major challenges have been the simple fact that these financing programs are just not available to the average homeowner." claims one Phoenix landscape and pool builder.

It is crazy to think about the money that the banks were given only a couple of months ago for these loans. Now the challenge is for homeowners who wish to spend money, to receive this money," claimed another Arizona pool company representative. It would be nice to see economists give out some advice for in trouble construction companies who as well as everyone else are suffering from our economic state. A sales representative claimed, "Pool financing is getting better. I don't really see the end of the tunnel, but I can somewhat see the light."
