At this price point you can easily add $20K to the price of the house assuming it will be one of the many selling points of the house. This assumes the $20K you are spending to pay off the bond isn't making much interest in the bank or whatever you may have it invested in these days.
For some the bond don’t matter, they like throwing money away. For some of use we don’t like paying extra and value or hard earned money we saved decades for. It’s personal choice.
