First, I just don't want a pool.
But, other reasons are upkeep time and costs.
Liability reasons.
Want more green space, not pool.

Have you ever had a pool? I had one put in this year and was actually really surprised at how little maintenance it was and the chemicals were maybe $400 at the most.

Granted, I have a new pool, new water, and new pump/ filtration and we had a decent summer.

If you buy a house with the pool, the valuation takes some percentage of the pool into account so filling it in kills some part of your valuation instantly. Probably $20k or so.

I'm not trying to change your mind per se, but I was kinda caught off guard in a good way about the unknowns going into the project.
