With that said...
If you're not going to be here in 30 years.. or if you sell to move to another home. best to not pay it off as the bond follows the house not the owner.

However, a paid off bond was a powerful inducement to my buying the house I bought. So were a new roof and HVAC system. That’s a bit like getting a $50,000 (or whatever) discount.
