The last home I sold was about 2 1/2 years ago so the market has changed somewhat , I’mi in my first preowned home in villages now , the house had no bond , but it sold for the same price as comparable models ,so the sellers gained nothing by paying it off and I would have bought this home with a bond anyway

I guess it depends on the market. You may not accept an offer with a deducted bond, but other sellers will. Having a bond gives the buyer more options. If they don't want a bond, they can just pay it off. If they want a bond, they can keep it. But, once the bond is paid off, it cannot be reinstated. In some cases, a paid off bond can prevent a sale because the buyer cannot get a mortgage high enough to cover the paid off bond amount that the seller has included in the sale price.
