We will be shopping for a Courtyard Villa on a lot large enough to build a pool. Some friends of ours who bought a CV based on the word of the salesperson assuring them that the lot would accomodate a pool neglected to mention that construction of a pool is actually dependent on what we in MA call a "DIGSAFE" investigation which reveals whether ther are any underground utilities and/or pipelines which would prohibit excavation to install a pool. Needless to say that after the CV was purchased and a site inspection completed it revealed that in fact it would not be possible to build a pool! My friends were furious but because they had already closed on the home they were stuck and all attempts to reverse the sale and find another CV which would accomodate a pool were denied! BTW the site inspection I believe applies to any home not just CV's.

As to the type of pool you wish to install I have found many options ranging from a few thousand dollars to many thousands of dollars. If you'd like more info, PM me.
