I've got the original propane stove on my C250. It's seldom used. We mostly day sail and when we do cruise it's to a marina with electrical power.

I'm considering pulling the stove out and installing a single burner induction stove.

Is that a modification that would hurt the resale value?

IMHO Unless the cavity, left behind in the countertop after you remove the stove top, can be exactly filled with the new induction stove, it will glaringly and practically affect the appearance and functionality of the galley's countertop and therefore the boat's sale-appeal and price.

Removing the high quality glass plate Princess butane/propane stove can easily be done. Disconnect the propane and electrical connections. Then... very, very slowly and gently pry the glass plate from the counter and lift out the unit. Handle and store it with great care...

Replacement of the high quality, glass plated, Princess stove tops are not available anymore anywhere. For that reason make sure it stays intact with the boat as replaceable or perhaps saleable...
