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.
My realtor informed me that WAY more prospective buyers prefer homes WITH pools than without.
