You can double that number - most pools will start at $120K+ now. The same pool I installed for $65K just 3 1/2 years ago now costs $130K to install.
It doesn't make sense to spend $10K-$20K to fill in a pool and lower the value of your home by $100K. That same $$ used to fill in the pool will take care of maintenance for a long time.
The listed study doesn't break the data down by region. A pool in Michigan costs far less than a pool in Florida - mainly due to demand and labor shortages.
With regards to value, my home jumped by more than $100K after installing the pool. The value is consistently listed as $75K - $100K more than other homes of the same model in our village.
The big factor in The Villages is that there are only so many lots that can even support a pool, and even less lots for a CYV. This makes them a hot commodity with a higher resale value.
