It's really weird. For some reason, a lot of people don't seem to consider the bond as an addition to the purchase price of a home. We paid off the bond on our last home in TV, a CYV. When we sold it was an insignificant plus. We now have a bond and I would not pay it off, unless we were 100% positive we would never move again.
