Good point about the home aspect. If you put in a pool you limit your buyers to “pool people”. I would not let that stop me if I really wanted a pool.

Your lot is a huge factor. If the terrain slopes toward your house a pool can actually act as a catch basin and reduce some of the rain flow toward your house. A thought, because in this case size matters.

An AG pool could lead to an encircling deck which would actually end up needing more maintenance than the pool.

Pool vs boat – man, what a dilemma. A hole in the water into which you pour money, or a water hole into which you poor money.

Just kiddin, I’ve had both and pool wins hands down.
