Can I get a First Home Owner Grant?

In Victoria, you may be eligible for a number of grants available to first home owners.

First Home Buyer Grant: $10,000 - $20,000
New or Established Properties: New
Max. Value of Property: $750,000

First home buyers purchasing a new property up to the value of $750,000 may be eligible for a $10,000 First Home Owners' Grant.

Those purchasing and/or building new homes in regional Victoria up to the value of $750,000 may be eligible for a $20,000 grant.

Stamp duty concession

The Victorian state government will also abolish stamp duty for first home buyers purchasing a home with a dutiable value of $600,000 or less. In addition, those purchasing a property worth between $600,000 and $750,000 will receive some form of stamp duty concession.

New Pilot Shared Equity Scheme

Under the terms of the new Pilot Shared Equity Scheme, eligible first home buyers will only need to have a 5% deposit in order to buy a home. The Victorian State Government takes a proportional interest of up to 25% in the property.

First home buyers will then be able to take out a loan that is worth 70% of the value of the home (thanks to their 5% deposit and the Government’s 25% stake in the property).

Once the first home buyer sells the property, they will just have to repay the Government’s proportional interest.

To be eligible for the Government support, singles must be earning an annual income of $75,000 or less and couples must have a combined household income of $95,000 or less.
