I think most real estate agents will tell you, that power lines are, on balance, a negative for resale, if they are in view.

However if you totally rule out power lines, you will miss out on some great houses that you might really like. I would buy a house with power lines, and have done so. Its a slight negative, but not a deal killer.
Yep. This is my situation. The view in the house I was interested in was so good (pond/open space views in back and side of house) I did not notice the power lines at first. They are mainly across the street, but I can see they run near the house with the towers spread apart so I don't see them from the backyard/lanai. But they are there.
