Computed by the same engine the calculator runs, on the 2026–27 scale, for a citizen or permanent resident buying an established home.

What moves this figure

Without first-home relief the scale does all the work, so the figure moves with the price and little else. A foreign purchaser surcharge would change it substantially; so would vacant land rather than an established home.

What this does not include

Legal fees, inspections, lender charges and any foreign purchaser surcharge. It does include the $657 of registration fees, which are routinely omitted elsewhere.

What this rests on

Every figure above comes from one of these records. This list is generated from them, so it cannot fall out of step with the calculator.
