Buying a home in Delaware
Delaware offers no sales tax and relatively modest property taxes, making it an attractive option for buyers moving from higher-cost Northeast markets.
With a median home price around $340,000 and an effective property tax rate of 0.55%, a typical Delaware homeowner pays about $1,870 per year in property taxes — roughly $156 per month on top of the principal-and-interest payment. Use the mortgage calculator above to adjust home price, down payment, interest rate, and loan term to model your specific situation in Delaware.
Understanding your Delaware mortgage payment
A typical Delaware mortgage payment includes four components, often abbreviated PITI:
- Principal — the portion that reduces your loan balance each month
- Interest — the cost of borrowing, based on your rate and remaining balance
- Taxes — Delaware's effective property tax rate of 0.55% is collected monthly into an escrow account
- Insurance — homeowner's insurance (and PMI if your down payment is under 20%)
Lenders use the front-end debt-to-income ratio (DTI) — your total housing payment divided by gross monthly income — to qualify you for a loan. Most conventional lenders target a front-end DTI under 28%. The calculator above shows your full monthly PITI estimate so you can check that ratio before applying.
