Will installing a pool in my backyard increase the resale value of my home?

Usually pools will not increase the resale value of a house. Some people find them difficult to maintain. You are better off renovating the inside of your home.

It really depends on your neighborhood. If your home is the only one in the area that doesn't have a pool, it might be in your best interest to install one so that your home is at par with the others that surround it.

Pools are way too much work for most people. On top of that they cost a lot to maintain. I don't think adding a pool will be worth it to you.

I don't agree with Wally. I think it depends where you live if you live in a part of the country where it's warm all year round, buyers in your area might be willing to pay more for a pool.

You might have more fun once you install a pool, but chances are it won't really increase your resale value unless everyone in your neighborhood has one.

Pools are great but make sure that you invest in one that will last. I would suggest a concrete pool instead of one that has a liner cause liners tend to rip and it costs a lot to replace them.

Depends on where you live.

Having a pool, no matter where you live, will typically raise value. The amount it contributes depends on your state and its' climate/seasons.

Depends where you live.

I would not get a pool. It can be a pain when it comes to maintenance.
