Pool or no pool?

[Yinan Q.]

Agents and investors, is a in ground pool a plus or minus to potential buyers in the Seattle area in general? It's an entry level house (sub 500k) with moderate size lot (~6,000 sf). The pool literally takes more than half of the back yard for the particular house I am looking at.

Personally I think a pool in this area is more of a burden - it only gets used for 2 months each year.
