Is paying the Bond off a wise decision...probably not financially but there are may other factors one should consider.

-- If you have $15-25K sitting around earning .01% interest and plan to stay in your house for more than 5-8 years and you are in decent health, no immediate financial obligations, ..pay it off.

-- You most likely will not get the money back when or if you sell BUT it will make you house more appealing to a potential buyer not having to pay a bond.

-- What is the value of peace of mind not have a debt owed to someone?
