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.
Power lines in view of a home are a deal killer for me. NEVER would I purchase near power lines.
