You will be amazed at how many people move from one home to another here. Many people on this forum have. We have. The cost to move is much cheaper here too.

I agree with Gracie's post. Many people move. We have. Paying off a bond doesn't necessarily mean that a Purchaser will be willing to pay more for your property if you move. It's a feature, and a selling point, but people tend to compare purchase prices.

Bonds are a strange thing. The purchase price of a home is actually the price plus the bond. But many people consider bonds to be separate entities.
