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.

I really Don't Believe if 2 identical houses are for sale and everything being the same.
#1 house has a Bond balance of 20K, and #2 house has no Bond. I don't believe the house with no Bond is worth 20K more. Maybe the house is with a Bond is worth less than then the # 2 house. Most definitely the house with NO BOND will sell faster.
