I was taught that a pool adds zero value to a house, i.e. adding or
removing a pool has zero effect on home value. �It will cost a few bucks
to fill it in and we're in a buyers market so include this cost in your
offer. �But, since it is a strong buyers market, find a house without a
pool.

whats done is create large hole in pool bottom, and demo around edge
and fill in.

if you might want to reactivate it someday still hole in bottom then
fill with gravel.

you dont want abandoned pool holding water and breeding mosquitoes.

call some local pool companies they remove them too.........
