That's true so if the buyer is paying cash it's definitely a benefit to have it paid. But if they pay cash and pay off the bond too I still think it's a wash. If you have 2 models exact same model and lot in the same location and one is 400K with no bond and the other has a 25K bond they probably will be listing for 375K.
That's really just my opinion but I'm sure people take into account bond value when setting a list price.
