1. Who is going to maintain the pool?

2. Above or below ground?
Above ground pools are so cheap these days that they offer little to no increase in value. In fact, you’re home could actually be worth less to a buyer if you have an above ground pool. You might get a little bump from extensive deck work, but you are more likely to get nothing at all from an above ground.
Below ground pools are much more aesthetically pleasing and thus they typically cost considerably more. Likewise a below ground will add value to almost any property.
3. Building a pool.
