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.

Isn’t all homes in villages over stated? All things being the same including price who buy one with bond? One who likes to give money away.
