If memory serves me in most cases original purchasers of home pools do not recoop that entire cost. I suppose though, T V is an anomoly when it comes to the value of everything; pools, painted driveways, rock walls included.
I've had a pool in 2 of my Florida homes ... never again! Biggest PITA on earth. I wouldn't buy a home with a pool again, if it was the only house available in the USA.

The FL market has been moving away from private pools for years, but as you noted TV is an anomaly when it comes to most everything. Based on the #'s I've heard for pool construction costs in TV, I don't think there's any way folks are going to get their money back on that investment.
