Big News: First Home Buyers can Buy Sooner with Just 5% Deposit

To All First Home Buyers Out There 📣


We’re excited to share some major changes announced by the Albanese Government that could make getting into your first home easier – and much sooner than expected.

🔑 What’s Changing?

  • Starts Earlier: Launches 1 October 2025 (instead of January 2026).
  • Just 5% Deposit: Buy with as little as 5% deposit, while the government guarantees part of your loan – saving you from costly Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).
  • No Income or Participation Caps: Open to all first home buyers, with no limit on how many can access the scheme.
  • Higher Property Price Caps: Updated thresholds mean you can buy more in today’s market:
    • Sydney: up to $1.5m
    • Melbourne/Geelong: up to $950k
    • Brisbane/Gold Coast/Sunshine Coast: up to $1m
    • Other regions also increased – ask us for your local cap.

💰 What This Means in Real Terms

  • Brisbane example: Buy a $1m home with just $50k deposit, saving up to 10 years of saving time and around $42,000 in LMI.
  • Sydney example: Purchase a $1.5m home with a $75k deposit, instead of the usual $300k (20%) deposit.

These changes could save you tens of thousands – and get you into your first home years sooner.
