In my opinion, if you are going to stay in the house for about 5 or more years, and you can afford to, it makes financial sense to pay off the bond. If you are going to sell the house, it makes more sense to keep the bond. That way, the buyer can make the decision to keep the bond or to pay it off. Logically, giving the buyer more options should make the house easier to sell. Although, in today's world, things are not always logical.
