You'll not recoup the price of new pool installation in a future sale, so you'd better plan on being in the same house for a while to enjoy it if you are attempting to fiscally justify the outlay.
The chemicals' cost & electricity to run the pumps was not that much, between $1k- $2k per year.
I did the maintenance & repairs myself.
If you intend on out-sourcing that, your annual costs will obviously be higher.
I am thrilled every time I reflect on the fact that I am an ex-pool owner.
Good luck.

Correct... Pools use to be an asset when selling, today not so much because of insurance and maintenance cost.

Agree with Soccerfut. I would add that it did make my house easier to sell but we didn't get our money back not even close. But, we got years of fun. We miss the hell out of it but not ready to build another.
