WA's Higher First Home Buyer Duty Thresholds Now Cover Perth's Median Unit Price, Says Brian McAllister Properties
Brian McAllister Properties said more Perth units now qualify for the first-home-buyer concession after the state lifted duty thresholds.
Western Australia’s 2026–27 Housing Taxation Package raises the first-home duty exemption threshold for established and newly built homes from $500,000 to $600,000.
The concession threshold increases from $700,000 to $800,000 for transactions entered into on or after 7 May 2026.
REIWA reported that Perth’s median unit price was $690,000 for the year to August 2026, placing it within the new concession band.
The vacant-land exemption threshold rises to $450,000, while the concession threshold increases to $550,000.
