Does a pool increase my home insurance?

I’m considering the pros and cons of installing a pool in my backyard. It’ll be fun, but the cons include an extra financial burden. For one thing, does a pool increase my home insurance?

The short answer is yes, having a pool will increase your home insurance premiums by an average of $50 to $75 per year.
Here are some of the factors that influence your insurance prices to rise when you get a pool:
  • Increased
    liability
    : if your pool does not have safety measures such as a fence or proper signage, this will increase the potential for injury.
  • Standard or luxury pool: The cost to replace or repair a luxury pool will be more than for a standard pool.
  • Your location: If you live in a community with high drowning rates, your insurance premium will be higher.
