Actually, I am not sure that a pool (inground or above ground) is much of an asset to a house, unless, of course, the owner enjoys and uses it. When my friend spoke to his relator to sell his home, the relator told him if he wanted his asking price to fill in his inground pool. (He did, and the house sold without it) I am fixing up my inground, and have already been fully warned by several sources that it is not going to be any substantial increase in value (resale) to my home. It is good for people who enjoy them, but not an assured asset to a home. Too many people don't want the bother.
