$3,969 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $3,149; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $648,187 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $71,241 ($413,530 in today’s dollars).
Within Maryland, Silver Spring is 3rd of the 5 Maryland markets covered here, between Annapolis at the top and Baltimore at the bottom of a 2.73x spread. A state-level median hides most of that.
Silver Spring carries a premium over the rest of Maryland: a median home here runs $539,500, about 30% above the state median of $415,000. The deposit moves with it, so the same 20% down is $107,900 rather than $83,000.
Prices here have run ahead of rents: the local price index sits at 1.30 against a rent index of 1.20. A market where buying costs rise faster than renting does is one where the rent-vs-buy answer leans later — you need a longer hold before ownership wins.

Where these numbers come from
Maryland medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Silver Spring 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.
