Set a workable budget
Consider your deposit, borrowing position and purchase costs beyond the advertised property price.
First Home Buyer Guide Australia
FIRST-HOME BUYERS
Search new property and understand your first purchase.
Browse new Australian property while using practical guides to understand deposits, costs, grants, contracts, inspections and settlement.
A property search and learning path in one place.
First Home Property is not a buyer's agent or lender. It is a new-property portal that helps you discover listings and learn which questions to ask as you prepare for your first purchase.
Search new property
Use suburb, postcode, type, bedroom, price and availability filters to explore suitable listings.
Check the details
Compare inclusions, timing, contracts, location, inspections and any scheme requirements relevant to you.
Enquire on the listing
Ask for current availability and information using the exact property or development reference.
Use the portal with the right context.
Explore different new-property types
The portal includes new apartments and house-and-land packages, with townhouse and off-the-plan coverage expanding as listings are added. Each path has different timing, ownership, contract and cost considerations.
Use official scheme information
First-home buyer grants, guarantees, concessions and thresholds change. Use our guides as an introduction, then confirm current eligibility with the relevant government authority and your lender or broker.
Do not rush the contract step
A listing is a discovery tool. Before signing, obtain appropriate finance, legal, building and other professional input for the specific transaction.
Start with the new-property database.
Search current listings, refine the results and enquire when a property matches what you are looking for.
