That's absolutely something homeowners notice, and a house with a lead pipe has a lower market value than one without. It's normally called out on the home inspection report. The hard part comes after: The person bought a cheaper house, but didn't use the money to replace the pipe. And even bigger issue is that most people do not buy or sell their home, they'll live in it for many years. So yes, it's less valuable, but that doesn't turn into anything actionable.
