Where the concession runs out
First-home relief reaches one of these prices in Victoria, wiping the duty out entirely. The jurisdictions differ sharply here, and it is the single largest reason the same house costs different money in different places — not the rates, the relief.
What this does not include
Legal fees, inspections, lender charges and any foreign purchaser surcharge. It does include the $1,989.20 of registration fees, which are routinely omitted elsewhere.
