No, you can't deduct the "real estate purchase tax" if it's a sales tax. The IRS code allows a deduction for U.S. states (and local sales tax).
If the tax is property tax, no, foreign property (real estate) taxes aren't deductible in tax year 2018 through 2025 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In 2017 and prior years, foreign property taxes could be deducted.
