My advice ...
If you're going to keep the house for a long time, pay off the bond.
If there is a possibility you'll be moving anytime in the next few years, don't pay off the bond.
It will make your home more attractive to advertise it as "bond free".
But strangely, it doesn't mean that prospective purchasers will be willing to pay an increased amount for your home.
