A lot depends on where you are. If you're pretty far south and in a warm climate, sure. I imagine a pool could be quite attractive. They appear to be nearly mandatory in the FL area.
But every once in a while you get someone up here in Chicago who gets the curious idea that having a pool is a good idea. To each his own, but I wouldn't expect it to be a selling point--I'd think it to be neutral at best and liability to most.
Who wants to have half of their yard eaten up by an expensive and tricky to maintain power hog that you can only use for 3 months out of the year? Obviously, every once in a while someone here does, but they can't get attached to the idea that many will share their opinion.
