If median prices in Hunters Hill consistently exceed $1,000,000, first home buyers will typically pay full stamp duty, approximately 4 to 4.5 percent of the purchase price at that level. On a $1.1M purchase, that is around $44,000 to $50,000 in additional upfront cost. This does not rule Hunters Hill out as a first purchase, but it needs to be factored into your deposit and savings plan alongside legal costs and building inspections.
