Tasmania Property Market
Tasmania experienced a dramatic property boom from 2016–2022, with Hobart prices more than doubling. The market has since moderated, offering some relief for local buyers. Tasmania's strong tourism economy, food culture, and natural beauty continue to attract lifestyle buyers from the mainland.
Buying in Tasmania
Despite significant appreciation from pandemic-era lows, Tasmania remains more affordable than mainland capitals. However, Tasmania's lower wage base means housing affordability relative to incomes is worse than the price-only comparison suggests. The First Home Owner Grant of A$30,000 provides meaningful assistance for first-time buyers.
Stamp Duty
Tasmania charges duty on a sliding scale. On A$540,000, the duty is approximately A$19,617. First-home buyers may be eligible for a 50% duty concession on established homes under A$600,000, and a full exemption on new homes. The concession is only for owner-occupiers.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)
LMI is required when LVR exceeds 80%. Tasmania's lower average prices mean LMI premiums are more manageable in absolute terms — typically A$3,000–A$8,000 at 85–90% LVR.
First Home Owner Grant
Tasmania provides a First Home Owner Grant of A$30,000 for new homes or substantially renovated properties, one of Australia's most generous state grants alongside Queensland.
