You have two choices in most case when you selling a home. Fix it up to sell or fix it for the new owner ( money out of escrow ) to purchase it and he enjoys it when he moves in. If it's a short sale you trying to get out from under it, just sell it. The pool will get repaired by the bank before any loan is listed, the problems can be too costly and the banks know it; or in some cases the banks with have you sign off on the pool>as is! In most cases Iit will get a quickie acid wash and tune up and refilled for the new owner to deal with.
