Buying your first home can seem a little daunting, especially in today’s property market.
However, with a bit of help from government schemes and with new property developments like Capricorn Beach, there is no need to compromise on your dream coastal home.
Be in the know by checking out all the help available for those saving to buy their first home:
Government Schemes to Buy Your First Home
First Home Super Saver Scheme (FHSSS)
Under the FHSSS, you don’t have to pay income tax on any income voluntarily directed to your superannuation account. As of 2021, you can now take up to $50,000 out of your super to buy your first home.
Therefore, voluntarily directing a portion of your income to your superannuation can be a great way to save! To learn more about the FHSSS, check out the ATO FHSSS webpage.
Stamp Duty Concessions
First-home buyers may be given some stamp duty concessions, depending on the price of the home they buy. This will differ from state to state in Australia.
In WA, concessions are available for homes priced less than $530,000 and land priced less than $400,000.
First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS)
The FHLDS is now available to 20,000 Australians per year. The scheme makes paying your deposit on your first home can be easier than ever. Under the FHLDS, first-time homebuyers only pay a 5% deposit on their new property and are exempt from paying lenders’ mortgage insurance.
Learn about the eligibility requirements and how the scheme can be used for Capricorn Beach house & land packages, at the Australian government FHLDS website.
