Homes with Pools for Sale in Murray, Utah
Murray sits in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, which means summer stretches long and hot — plenty of days in the mid-90s from June through August — but winter brings real snow and freezing temps that shut a pool down for four or five months a year. That seasonal split shapes what you'll see on the market here: most pools in Murray are in-ground and gunite or vinyl, built in the 1970s-90s ranch and split-level neighborhoods east of State Street and around Murray Park, where lot sizes gave the original owners room to add one. Newer construction closer to Fireclay or the Winchester Street corridor tends to have smaller yards, so a pool there is less common and often commands a bigger premium when it exists.
Because Murray is landlocked between Salt Lake City, Midvale, and Holladay, a home with a pool here also puts you close to Intermountain Medical Center, the Trax line, and a five-to-ten minute commute into downtown SLC — useful if you want summer pool days without giving up a short work commute. Expect to budget for a pool cover, a pump/filter inspection, and possibly resurfacing on anything installed before 2000; Murray's older housing stock means plenty of pools are original equipment.

Common questions
About homes with pools in Murray.
Is a pool worth it in Murray's climate? ▾
Murray sits in the Salt Lake Valley with roughly 100 days a year hitting 80°F or higher, so pools typically see active use from late May through mid-September. Most owners winterize and cover from October through April. If you want longer swim seasons, look for homes with heaters or attached spas.
How many homes with pools are usually for sale in Murray? ▾
Murray is a smaller, built-out city of about 50,000 people, so pool listings are limited — often just a handful active at any time. Inventory tends to pick up in spring when sellers want photos taken with the pool open. Setting up an MLS alert is the practical move here.
What neighborhoods in Murray are most likely to have pools? ▾
Older established areas east of State Street — around Murray Parkway, Cottonwood, and the neighborhoods near Wheeler Farm — tend to have larger lots that can accommodate in-ground pools. Newer infill builds west of I-15 are usually on smaller lots where pools are rare.
Do pools add much resale value in Murray? ▾
In the Salt Lake Valley, a well-maintained in-ground pool typically adds somewhere in the $20,000–$40,000 range to value, less than what installation costs new. The bigger factor is buyer pool — pools narrow your audience, but the right buyer pays a real premium.
What should I check during inspection on a Murray pool home? ▾
Get a dedicated pool inspection on top of the standard home inspection. Key items: plaster or liner condition, pump and filter age, heater function, the condition of the cover, and whether the pool was properly winterized last season. Also check that fencing meets Murray City code.
Are there extra costs I should budget for? ▾
Plan on roughly $1,500–$3,000 a year for chemicals, electricity, and basic maintenance if you handle it yourself, or $4,000–$6,000 with a weekly service. Opening and closing runs another few hundred each. Insurance premiums also tick up slightly because pools are considered an attractive nuisance.
