Probably not. The National Association of Realtors, in its most recent Remodeling Impact report on outdoor home features, estimated that homeowners recover only about 43% of the cost of installing an in-ground pool, while a tiny 2% of REALTORS said it helped them secure a sale. Still, more than 90% of homeowners with new pools reported a greater desire to be at home after completing the project, so the pool’s greatest benefit might ultimately be enjoyment of the time spent at your house.
