The outstanding bond on a home certainly does impact the value. For example, when I bought in 2009, my bond on a resale home was $2,200. I have several friends who bought new in St. Charles and they all have a $20,000 bond. At tax time, I am paying about $1,600 less since my bond is so small.
As for a site that shows the bond amounts, I don't know. However, on new homes currently, the bond ranges from about $23,000 to $50,000. This is just one more reason to look at resale homes in established neighborhoods before rushing into buying a new home.
