I'm being transferred to another city and one of the houses on my short list for location just happens to have a little in-ground concrete pool in the back yard. Something like a Fastlane would have to be installed in it to make it a true swimming pool. This being the Great White North, it probably would be usable from late May to mid-September only, unless I put a building over it.
How much work and expense is involved in operating a backyard pool? Is it worth the trouble? I'm assuming it's usable as the MLS photos showed it full of water.
Also, check to see what effect it will have on your homeowners insurance. I suspect even adhering to various zoning regulations (the yard almost certainly needs to be fenced and the fence will have to be of a minimum height) I suspect it would increase your rates some.
