Good news: the First Home Buyers Scheme just got a massive upgrade, and it’s finally giving you a real shot at home ownership.
Let’s be real — trying to buy your first home in Perth lately has felt like trying to grab a golden ticket in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Sky-high prices and massive deposits have locked a whole generation out… until now.
What’s Actually Changed?
Just a 5% Deposit – Yep, just 5% deposit and you could own your own place. No more decade-long savings grind.
$850K Property Limit – The scheme now covers homes up to $850,000, opening the door to so many more options.
No Income Restrictions – Your paycheck doesn’t matter anymore. Everyone gets a fair go.
No Stamp Duty on Land Under $350K – Keep more cash for furniture, a home office, or a killer gaming setup.
No Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) – Save tens of thousands upfront. Cha-ching.
Basically, this scheme is like giving first home buyers the ultimate golden ticket — and it’s saying: “Perth, we’ve got you.”
Why This Is Huge
Perth property prices have been wild. Being locked out just because of a deposit, high price, or income limits? Totally unfair. Now you can:
- Get in sooner without sacrificing your lifestyle
- Access more homes thanks to the $850K limit
- Save money upfront with no LMI and no stamp duty under $350K
This scheme isn’t just for houses — eligible townhouses and apartments in Perth suburbs like Baldivis, Ellenbrook, and Butler also count, giving you more options than ever.
Whether you’re a single, couple, or young family, the removal of income limits means everyone gets a fair shot at home ownership in WA. This is part of a bigger push to make the Perth property market more accessible for a new generation of homeowners in 2025 – and we’re thrilled about it!
