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.

Agreed. We live in Ohio and I don't care how nice the house was when we looked, a pool was a 100% reason to exclude the house for us. However, if I were ever to move to Floridapor Arizona, or somnething like that, the opposite would be true. I would not buy without a pool.
