Assuming 5% inflation for a pool installed in 1978 for $4,900, your looking at a replacement cost of about $36,220. today. That’s for a vinyl pool without a cage and or wall. Also likely not saltwater or with many visual effects buyers desire today. Always wished I could have today’s income with yesteryear’s prices but it is great to reminisce. Pools are a significant cost and like everything else in life, a personal choice. Go with what makes you happy and you will be content. Who would have thought central Florida real estate would cost what it does.
