We tried to have a pool built at our old house back in 2019. Almost all of the companies didn’t even want to talk to us for less then $100,000. We did find a fiberglass pool that was 11ft x 23ft and less then 10,000 gallons and we were ready to spend $43,000 on that. The pool company was wrong about our county setback requirements though and as a result it wouldn’t fit in our yard. So we wound up just buying a house with a vinyl pool that was installed back in the 1970’s. The pool was in bad shape and needed a new liner, new stairs a new pump and we converted it to salt. That alone cost us over $13,000. Buying the house with the fixer upper pool was way less of a hassle then what we went though dealing with the pool company, the HOA and our county officials. It turns out a pool is very expensive to install and does not add much value to the cost of a home around here. That’s why it made more sense to me to just buy the house with the pool. I can’t say that’s plausible with today’s housing market though. One of my wife’s siblings just had a fiberglass pool built that’s about the same size as ours and all I know is that it was somewhere north of $100,000k. Back in 2019 that was about the minimum around here for a concrete pool. It may be way different in the midlands though as we are basically in the Charlotte market.
