Buying a home in Maryland
Maryland home prices are elevated by proximity to Washington DC, with Montgomery and Howard counties commanding significant premiums. Local property taxes vary widely by county.
With a median home price around $420,000 and an effective property tax rate of 0.99%, a typical Maryland homeowner pays about $4,158 per year in property taxes — roughly $347 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 Maryland.
Understanding your Maryland mortgage payment
A typical Maryland 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 — Maryland's effective property tax rate of 0.99% 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.
