Some people claim that whether the bond had been paid or not been does not impact the sales price.

That doesn’t make any sense to me. I would think people would look at the total price of the house - sales price, bond, and taxes.

For example, a $500,000 house with no bond and $5,000 in taxes should sell faster than a $475,000 house next door with a $50,000 bond and $5,000 taxes. The first one appears to cost $25,000 more but is actually $25,000 cheaper.

Or do people look just at the sales price?
