What a private pool actually costs to own
Budget three things beyond the price: the pool itself (chemicals, pump electricity and a service if you do not want to do it yourself typically run $150 to $300 a month), the screen enclosure where there is one (a full re-screen every 8 to 12 years; a replacement enclosure is a five-figure job after a storm), and insurance, where a pool adds liability exposure and many carriers require a fence, self-latching gate or approved alarm. Florida’s Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act requires at least one safety feature on a new pool, and lenders and insurers ask about it on older ones. Have the pool inspected separately from the house: the pump, heater, surface finish and deck are the expensive items. Our true cost of ownership calculator puts insurance, taxes and upkeep into one monthly number.
Questions to ask about any pool listing
How old are the pump, filter and heater, and is there a warranty? When was the surface last refinished? Is the enclosure permitted and when was it last re-screened? Is there a barrier or alarm that satisfies the insurer? What did the seller pay for homeowners insurance last year, and did the carrier require anything for the pool? A local agent who works the area will know which enclosures came through the last storm.
