Question about paying extra principle towards mortgage?

We bought our first house about 2 years ago with a 30 yr loan at a good rate. We are applying additional principal towards the mortgage each month. If we keep up the extra principal the schedule says we will pay off the house in 9-10 years. Is it worth paying extra principal on a house that we may only stay in for 6 years or so?
