    Advice Buy First Homebuyers Home

    Make the most of increased caps and move into your dream home sooner

    October 15, 2021

    With caps increased from July 1, more and more first home buyers are now able to make good use of the Federal Government’s 5 per cent no Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) scheme.

    Since 2020, The First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS) has helped thousands of budding home owners get into the property market sooner.

    This year, the good news is that single parents with dependent children can also look to benefit from higher price caps, which also applies to the government’s new Family Home Guarantee scheme.

    Below you can see a summary of how much money you can spend while still remaining eligible to qualify for the FHLDS and Family Home Guarantee Scheme (FHGS).

    • New South Wales: $800,000 (Sydney, Newcastle/Lake Macquarie, Illawarra) and $600,000 (rest of the state).
    • Victoria: $700,000 (Melbourne and Geelong) and $500,000 (rest of the state).
    • Queensland: $600,000 (Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast) and $450,000 (rest of the state).
    • Western Australia: $500,000 (Perth) and $400,000 (rest of the state).
    • South Australia: $500,000 (Adelaide) and $350,000 (rest of the state).
    • Tasmania: $500,000 (Hobart) and $400,000 (rest of the state).
    • ACT: $500,000.
    • Northern Territory: $500,000.

    More detail about increased property price caps is available on the NHFIC website.

    The First Home Deposit Scheme enables eligible first home buyers to purchase a residence with only a 5 per cent deposit and to avoid forking out for lender’s mortgage insurance (LMI). This can save buyers anywhere up to $35,000, depending on the property price and deposit amount.

    Meanwhile, the new Family Home Guarantee Scheme allows eligible single parents to build or purchase a home with a deposit of just 2 per cent without paying LMI, regardless of whether or not this is their first home.

    These schemes run alongside the New Home Guarantee Scheme, a new initiative that allows both eligible first home buyers to build or purchase a new build with a 5 per cent deposit. This scheme features even higher property price caps which accounts for the extra costs that come with building a new home.

    THE TIME IS NOW:

    With only 10,000 spots available under each of these schemes, it’s important to get in quick as previous rounds tell us they are going to go fast. And if you’ve been thinking about looking into your options but keep putting it off, consider this the reminder you need to take action and see how you can take advantage before the opportunity has passed by.
