Bought this house in 2014. We will sell it before we pay it off. 3.75 is almost free money over 30 years. So while we throw an extra hundred at it every month, we won't be in it for 20 years. I think we will sell in the next 5.

Bought in 2002, interest rates dropped due to 9/11.

Paid it off in 2008.


(In '05 Katrina blew my 2nd floor off, did a lot of the rebuilding myself with family, friends, used the remaining funds to pay it off)

Paid cash for a fixer-upper in 2001. Remodeled it myself over 10 years paying cash only.

You balling? With only a 3% int rate that must be an expensive arse house to have you write off alot come tax time. I still standardize. Cheap house problems

Bought in 2014, should be paid off no later than 2025, hopefully earlier than that though.

Built it in 2006. The last refi put me at 3% on a 30 year fixed. 30 year fixed at 3% and no points - I felt like I'd robbed the bank when I signed the documents. I have no plans to pay this off prior to sale. I plan to sell it and move into another (free & clear) property that I have, which is closer to town, in 10 years or so.

I'd like to sell it and offer owner financing (using a wrap-around), assuming mortgage rates are in the 5-6% range by then. But the current situation with due on sale clauses creates too many legal complications.
