Newark mortgage calculator
A median-priced Newark, DE home at 6.75% over 30 years, with Delaware property tax of 0.58% and $1,100 a year of homeowners insurance. Every figure below is computed on our amortising engine — nothing is estimated in the browser.
$2,490 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $2,080; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $428,019 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $102,634 ($350,814 in today’s dollars).
Within Delaware, Newark is the most expensive of the 3 Delaware markets covered here. Prices here run 1.27x those in Wilmington, the cheapest market listed, so a statewide average badly understates what a purchase costs on this side of the state.
Rents here are high relative to prices — a rent index of 1.00 against a price index of 0.95. That combination favours buying sooner, because the payment you avoid is larger relative to the price you pay.
Newark is cheaper than Delaware as a whole — $356,250 against a state median of $375,000, roughly 5% below. On a 20% deposit that is $3,750 less to find up front.

Where these numbers come from
Delaware medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Newark figures index those state medians to the local market, so they track the same feed rather than going stale. Insurance and the state income tax rate are editorial. Treat everything here as a planning estimate, not a quote.
