Stamp duty in Western Australia
Western Australia has one of the more affordable stamp duty regimes, with lower rates than the eastern states at most price points. WA offers a First Home Owner Grant of $10,000 for new homes and, from 7 May 2026, a full stamp duty exemption for first home buyers on homes up to $600,000, with a concessional rate up to $800,000. The median house price in Perth remains below Sydney and Melbourne, making entry more accessible.

Buying in this price range
At $1.3 million to $2 million, stamp duty is a six-figure cost in most states — ranging from $50,000 to over $90,000. Properties at this level include family homes in desirable suburbs, prestige apartments, and investment-grade houses. No first home buyer concessions apply (except for eligible ACT buyers, who remain fully exempt under the Home Buyer Concession Scheme regardless of price). For buyers who don't qualify for a concession, VIC has the highest absolute duty at this level, and the ACT's flat rate on the full value above $1,455,000 means its standard duty is no longer the cheapest of the eastern jurisdictions at this price point.
Stamp duty negotiation leverage
At $1.5 million, stamp duty in NSW is $63,787. In negotiations, a $50,000 reduction in purchase price saves both the price difference and reduces stamp duty by approximately $2,000-$3,000. Include stamp duty savings when evaluating counter-offers.
Consider land tax implications
At this price range, investment properties will likely attract annual land tax in addition to stamp duty. Land tax thresholds vary by state — in NSW it starts only once land value exceeds $1,075,000 (land value, not property value), so land worth exactly that much still pays nil. Owner-occupied homes are generally exempt from land tax in all states.
Typical buyers: High-income professionals, executives, families upgrading to premium suburbs, and investors in established residential markets.
