Depending on the interest rate, you need to look at your break even point. When we bought, ours was 7 years. I was glad we paid it off and saved all that interest. As it turns out we didn't move, but had we after 7 years we would have broken even financially, and, could put the house on the market advertising it as "NO BOND", which is a positive for those who look at total costs when purchasing.
