Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Close, but no 2024 cigar?)

Some things to consider...
What if they add more power in the future?
Even if health was not issue, do you really want to look at power lines? You'll think about you concerns and decision every time you see them.
This will sound harsh, but do you love the house? More than your children?
Now, being more logical... Always buy to sell. Location location location. If you have doubts, so will your future buyers. Value appreciation on any house with a black flag will be lower than properties with no black flags. So the price differential will widen over time. From investment resale point of view, not ideal.
Good advice from a realtor was to never be in a hurry to move. Set your search parameters and then wait for an opportunity. That way you're less pressured and can make a detached decision. You'll end up with something you really love, not something you compromised on.
Lots of houses without power lines. This one would need to have a LOT of extra check boxes (other than just price) compared to other houses to be first choice.
Make your own choice, but I couldn't do it. I'd get online and find some other options.
