Absolutely true.

We're selling our VA home this month, and had a prospective buyer who
loved the house, but decided against buying it specifically because we
didn't have gas -- he's a chef, and that's what he's used to.

OTOH, when we bought our new home in Florida a few months ago, we turned
down a house we loved because it's in a "green" subdivision that
requires all homes to have natural gas major appliances. Even as a
semi-custom home, they could not allow us to specify an induction
cooktop and electric oven, or even to leave out those items altogether,
and we'd install them ourselves later.

We bought in another subdivision three miles away...
