Government grants can save you thousands.
With the new financial year just starting, several federal and state governments have been updating their first home buyer incentives and grants.
Last week, 50,000 New Spots were Opened for Home Buyers. You can now access a mortgage with a smaller deposit under the three Home Guarantee Schemes:
First Home Guarantee
Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee
Family Home Guarantee
Meanwhile there has been changes to Stamp Duty and Increased Exemptions:
South Australia: Made headlines as the first state to completely abolish stamp duty for first home buyers.
Western Australia: Increased the stamp duty exemption to houses worth up to $450,000 (previously $430,000) and lifted the concession threshold from $530,000 to $600,000.
Queensland: Raised the threshold on transfer duty from $500,000 to $700,000, with reduced stamp duty for properties up to $800,000.
Overcome the Jargon and Leverage Government Assistance.
Many first home buyers are either unaware of the assistance available or unsure how to navigate the complex jargon. Did you know:
42% of renters are working towards buying their first home.
The 25–34 age group is leading the charge at 68%.
