Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to sell a house in South Australia?

The main cost is the agent's commission, commonly around 1.8 to 2.5 percent of the sale price in SA, plus 10 percent GST on that commission. On top of that a vendor usually pays a marketing or campaign fee (roughly $1,000 to $5,000), conveyancing for the sale (around $800 to $1,500), and a mortgage discharge fee if there is a loan. This tool adds those up and subtracts them from your expected sale price.

Do sellers pay stamp duty in South Australia?

No. Stamp duty (transfer duty) is paid by the buyer, not the seller. A vendor's costs are the agent commission plus GST, marketing, conveyancing, any mortgage discharge, and possibly capital gains tax on an investment property. This calculator does not include stamp duty because it is not a seller cost. If you are also buying, the All-In SA Cost Calculator covers the buyer side.

Is real estate commission negotiable in SA?

Yes. South Australia does not set or cap agent commission, so the rate is negotiable between the vendor and the agency. A common range for houses is about 1.8 to 2.5 percent, but it varies by agency, price point and service level. Always get the rate and what it includes in writing.

Does this include capital gains tax?

No. Capital gains tax depends on whether the property was your home or an investment, how long you owned it, and your income, so it is out of scope here. If you are selling an investment property, speak to your accountant about CGT before you rely on the net figure.
