How much do inground pools cost?
Let's understand what will influence how much you might spend, and then help you narrow down and whittle down to the relevant price range for you so that you can start planning your budget. Some of the things we're going to talk about today are the four factors that are going to influence how much you might spend on your pool.
The four factors that are going to affect can be:
- where you live
- when you buy your pool
- what time of year you buy
- what type of pool you buy and then what you buy
Where you live in the country makes a pretty big difference in how much money it costs to buy an inground pool. If you could imagine a simple analogy, someone wanted to sell bicycles, and they lived in Canberra. They could sell those a lot cheaper in Canberra than they could in Sydney. Materials are right there. Everything's already in place. The same principle applies to inground pools because every region of our country is different when it comes to the supply. The available suppliers, and the available subcontractors. All these different things come into play, and they all dramatically affect how much it costs to buy a pool in each region. So, that could depend on where you are, but that's something to check on. It's undoubtedly Places with hotter climates that are going to have lower prices for inground pools.
The second factor that's going to affect your price is when you buy, or what season you buy. Everybody tends to think about buying a pool in the spring or the summer when it's hot. If you want to get your best value, you really should think about buying in the off-season, in the fall or the winter, when pool companies are starting to slow down a little bit. Dollar for dollar, you'll get your best value buying a pool in the off-season. It doesn't mean you will get ripped off or get an unfair price in the spring or summer. It just means that you're going to get the best bargain in the off-season. So, when you buy your pool is a pretty big factor as well.
Also, the type of pool you get is a significant consideration that will affect your price. You have three types of pools: there are vinyl liner pools; there are concrete pools. They're also called gunite pools, and then there are fiberglass pools. A vinyl liner pool is going to have your lowest initial cost. Then concrete and fiberglass, typically, and in most places, will be about the same price. You might find more significant differences between concrete and fiberglass pool prices in different areas of the country, but by and large, across the board, in most places, they're about the same price. But your initial price isn't your only thing to consider when you're buying a pool. You've got to consider your lifetime cost of ownership.
The fourth thing that's going to affect your price is what you buy. You can get a stripped-down base pool package that will be on the lower end of the range, or you can go all out. It's just like buying a pickup truck. If you were to get an F-150, you could get a base model for around 35 or 40 grand, or you could certainly spend up to $75,000 or $80,000 on the same truck, depending on what you're getting. And that same principle applies to inground pools.
