In a perfect world, you would pay off the bond, save money on the interest, and, when you sell, the buyer would reimburse you for the principal amount of the bond that you paid off. Unfortunately, it is not a perfect world, and the buyer will not reimburse you for the full principal amount. So, you need to assess the value of the potential savings in bond interest versus the loss of principal when you sell.
