How much does it cost on average for an in ground pool? As my kids have told me they want a pool when we come over.

When we were looking for a house, we were told it was alot cheaper to have a second hand fiberglass pool put in. Sorry dont know how cheap, got the impression it was under $10,000 though.

We bought a house with a solar heated below ground salt water pool and move in at the end of the month, yippee.

That's one of those 'how long is a piece of string' questions. I believe they start at around $30k for a half decent inground one, but then it depends on size, depth, material, landscaping, etc etc - too many variables to state a specific price but I'd guess $30-40 isn't bad.
