Homes with Pools for Sale in Murray, Utah
Murray sits near the center of the Wasatch Front, bordered by Salt Lake City to the north and Midvale to the south, with the Cottonwood Canyon ski resorts about 20 minutes up the hill. Summers here run warm and dry — daytime highs regularly hit the low 90s from late June through August, and the Salt Lake Valley averages around 222 sunshine days a year. That climate makes a backyard pool genuinely useful for four to five months, not just a weekend novelty. Murray's lots tend to be mid-sized by Utah standards, typically ranging from 0.15 to 0.25 acres, which gives most homeowners enough yard for an in-ground pool without sacrificing all outdoor living space. The city's older, established neighborhoods — like Vine Street corridors and the streets surrounding Murray Park — often feature mature trees that provide natural shade and privacy around pool areas, something newer Wasatch Front suburbs can rarely offer.
From a value standpoint, homes with pools in Murray generally carry a price premium of roughly $30,000–$60,000 over comparable non-pool homes, though that gap narrows when you factor in the lifestyle return during Utah's long, sunny summers. Jordan School District serves most of Murray (with Murray City School District covering parts of the city), so families with kids are a strong part of the buyer pool here — and private backyard swimming is a real draw when summer break stretches three months long. Murray's central location also means easy access to the TRAX light rail and I-15, keeping commutes to downtown Salt Lake City or Sandy manageable.

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.
