Federal First Home Buyers Scheme Launched

On January 1, 2020 the Federal Government launched a scheme to assist first home owners to enter the property market with a smaller deposit.

They will assist 10,000 borrowers eligible for the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme to buy a home with as little as a 5% deposit, as opposed to the normal 20%.  The government will provide a loan guarantee of up to 15% of the property’s value to individuals earning up to $125,000 or couples earning up to $200,000 per year.  The scheme could also save you up to $10,000 in lenders mortgage insurance.

Housing affordability is one of the most challenging economic and social issues faced in Australia; and any government incentives that assist people to enter the market and realise the ‘Great Australian Dream’ of owning their own home, is a step forward to future security as well as a sound investment in capital gain over time.

There is also still the Queensland Government incentive on new homes (or land to build) for $15,000, as well as stamp duty incentives.
