Paying off bond is like any improvement to a house.
Will you sell a house faster if your kitchen is redone? Probably not, you might get a percent of the improvement back.
Those who sold a house with a bond on day 1 don’t know if they would have had multiple offers on day 1 and gotten an extra $5,000 or $10,000 if the bond was paid - get a portion of the bond back.
Us personally, we looked at homes with a bond, but the bond balance is a debt, so we calculated that into the decision to make an offer or not. We bought a house with a bond, but it was mostly paid off.
At the end of the day, most real estate does boil down to location/location/location. Look at the threads on Richmond vs Deluna.
