I get people wanting to be debt free. But the bond is more like a deferred infrastructure tax than a debt.
The bond is not like credit card debt. Bond debt transfers to the new buyer when the home is sold. Credit card debt follows where ever you go.
No real estate agent will guarantee getting a higher asking price for a home with a bond. In this market, the difference is often less than a percent of sales price.
Even better to not pay off If inflation plus savings rates are greater than Bond interest.
Your essentially giving part of your or your heirs estate away to a future buyer paying it off.
