The average in-ground swimming pool costs $21,919, according to home improvement site Fixr. And thatâs for a pretty basic 32â by 16â model. But thatâs just to build the thing. Then you have to take care of it.
Meanwhile, HomeAdvisor.com suggests that the average cost (based on 966 members' experiences) of a swimming pool is a bit lower at $17,816, although most of the 966 homeowners spent between $5,539 and $30,144 to build their swimming pool, with some going as low as $900 and some as high as $50,000.
