It depends
We paid ours off last summer, after 4 years of owning, and making the decision we did not expect to sell, even if something happened to one of us (you just never know). We had spent enough time there, even though we were renting it out, to know that our CYV in our present location was right for us.
There are numerous threads somewhere about what is best - I think the consensus that it depends on the individual situation. Your home's value is somewhat increased by having a paid-off bond, but probably not as much as the bond payoff. I would say to make sure you are where you want to be, at least for the next several years.
