Keep in mind once you have the pool installed there is no going back.

You will have limited your pool (no pun intended) of interested buyers to those who *want* a pool. We did not want a pool in our new home so any home with one already installed was out of the running and we had no interest in seeing the house. More than just a few consider a pool an expense and liability they want to avoid.

OTOH--if you have *room* for a pool then your field of interested buyers is everybody.

Best advise would be to assume you are putting it in for *your* enjoyment during the years you are here and then see what happens.
