$4,172 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $3,073; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $632,568 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $-112,424 ($147,305 in today’s dollars).
Within Vermont, Burlington is the most expensive of the 3 Vermont markets covered here. Prices here run 1.93x those in Rutland, the cheapest market listed, so a statewide average badly understates what a purchase costs on this side of the state.
Burlington carries a premium over the rest of Vermont: a median home here runs $526,500, about 35% above the state median of $390,000. The deposit moves with it, so the same 20% down is $105,300 rather than $78,000.
The price-to-rent ratio here is 23.4 ($526,500 to buy, $1,875 a month to rent), which is high. Renting and investing the deposit is a genuine alternative in Burlington, not a fallback position.

Where these numbers come from
