I've bought three houses. The first two didn't come with a fridge,
the third did.
(I tell a lie. The first house came with a 40-year-old "beer fridge"
in the basement.
Also an old deep freeze that had to be cut in pieces to be removed
after it died.)

We left the fridge when we sold the first house, but I can't recall
the circumstances.

The buyers of our second house didn't want the fridge (they had their
own), so we
took the one we had purchased for that house and it's now our beer
fridge.

There's my data point.
