$1,738 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $1,166; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $239,991 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $39,285 ($175,350 in today’s dollars).
Within Kansas, Wichita is 2nd of the 4 Kansas markets covered here, between Overland Park at the top and Topeka at the bottom of a 2.15x spread. A state-level median hides most of that.
Wichita is cheaper than Kansas as a whole — $199,750 against a state median of $235,000, roughly 15% below. On a 20% deposit that is $7,050 less to find up front.
At $199,750 to buy and $1,125 a month to rent, the price-to-rent ratio is 14.8 — low. Ownership tends to pull ahead quickly at that level, and the binding question is transaction costs rather than the monthly comparison.

Where these numbers come from
Kansas medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Wichita 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.
