If you were in the market to buy a home and you had a choice of basically two identical homes priced the same. One with the bond paid and one not. Would you choose the home that has the added yearly expense of $1,500+, for example, over the home that doesn't have that extra yearly expense?
Look at the bond being paid as an added feature of your home just like having a pool or an enclosed Lanai or any other feature that will make your home more attractive to potential buyers. Some of the bonds in the newer areas $40-$50K can add a significant yearly cost to owning that home with interest rates the way they are right now.
