Does an in-ground pool add to or subtract from my Mount Pleasant home's value?

An in-ground pool can add value to a Mount Pleasant home for buyers who specifically want one, but it can also subtract value for buyers who see it as extra maintenance, insurance cost and a safety concern for young children. Whether it helps or hurts depends heavily on the specific buyer pool a Mount Pleasant listing attracts.
