This week the NSW Government announced this week that the stamp duty threshold on new homes for first home buyers has increased from $650,000 to $800,000.
The threshold also increases on vacant land from $350,000 to $400,000
This threshold will be in place for 12 months only from 1 August through to 31 July 2021.
These exemptions will apply for first home buyers purchasing vacant land or a new home. Above these thresholds, concessional stamp duty rates apply to new homes up to $1,000,000 and vacant land up to $500,000.

You've seen the ads a big, bold interest rate that looks incredibly competitive. But there's another number sitting quietly beside it that tells a very different story.

The RBA has lifted the cash rate to 4.35%, and most lenders are expected to pass it on. If you've got a mortgage in the Moreton Bay region, your repayments are likely going up.

When the Reserve Bank of Australia raises the cash rate, it can directly affect home loan interest rates and mortgage repayments.
