   Because the word is still out whether or not EMF is dangerous to
   your health, we decided not to make a ridiculous offer on the
   property.  It has been two months now, and that house is still on
   the market despite two price reductions.  Comparable homes within
   the same development have been going at/or very close to asking
   price and usually within one (1) week's time of the listing!...

You say on the one hand that `the price was a little steep'.  Perhaps
that is why it is not selling?  How does it compare in price per ft^2
of interior space with the other houses?

   As far as the other poster who said that the electric company will fix
   the leaky wires... ahem, how about in the meantime?

What sort of `fix' is possible?  For high-tension wires, moving them
closer together or twisting them isn't really an option.

   Do you want your family to be subjected to the leaking EMF until
   they decide when (and if) the wires should be replaced?

`Leaking'?

Note, by the way, that even if there ARE health effects of power
lines, they drop off rapidly with distance.  Assume that the lines are
50' high and the conductors are 20' apart.  Then the field strength at
900 feet is about 2000 times less than the maximal field strength at
ground level.
