Principal and interest are $1,642; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $337,910 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $127,931 ($344,367 in today’s dollars).
Within Delaware, Wilmington is the cheapest of the 3 Delaware markets covered here — Newark runs about 1.27x these prices. Buyers priced out of the expensive end of the state often end up comparing exactly this pair.
Wilmington is cheaper than Delaware as a whole — $281,250 against a state median of $375,000, roughly 25% below. On a 20% deposit that is $18,750 less to find up front.
Rents here are high relative to prices — a rent index of 0.90 against a price index of 0.75. That combination favours buying sooner, because the payment you avoid is larger relative to the price you pay.

Where these numbers come from
Delaware medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Wilmington 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.
