Adelaide remains one of Australia's more affordable capital cities, though the gap with Sydney and Melbourne has narrowed. The SA economy offers competitive salaries in defence, manufacturing, and health sectors relative to housing costs. SA's land tax applies at rates up to 2.4% on investment properties.

Impuesto de Transmisiones

South Australia charges stamp duty on a sliding scale. On A$680,000, the duty is approximately A$31,330. First-home buyers purchasing new homes may be exempt from stamp duty under the new home grant scheme. SA also charges land tax for investors on total landholding value.

SA offers a First Home Owner Grant of A$15,000 for new homes. First-home buyers may also access stamp duty concessions for new homes and established properties under certain value thresholds.
