Yes, I agree that if the pool is rundown and is aliability more than an asset, then it would probably worsen the value, since buyers will view it as a money pit. However, you’d have to weigh in how much it cost to bring the pool to good condition vs how much it cost to remove it. If the pool is in good condition, it supposed to bring higher value to the house. If it cost at least 10k to remove it correctly with all the permits, it might be cheaper to recondition the pool to good condition.
