How much does an inground pool cost?

$35,000 to $85,000 installed on average. Vinyl liner pools start near $35,000, fiberglass $45,000 to $85,000 and gunite $60,000 to $150,000.

Which pool type is best?

Fiberglass for lowest lifetime maintenance, vinyl for lowest upfront cost, and gunite when you want a custom shape, depth or integrated spa.

Two to four weeks for fiberglass, four to eight for vinyl and eight to sixteen weeks for gunite, plus permitting.

Does a pool add home value?

Typically 5% to 8% in warm-climate markets where pools are expected, and little to nothing in cold climates where they can even narrow your buyer pool.

Yes. Essentially every jurisdiction requires a barrier of a specified height with self-closing, self-latching gates, and insurers require it too.
