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.

A construction loan releases money in stages as your home is built, so repayments start small and grow, and understanding contracts, variations and extra costs before you sign helps keep the build on track.
With rates rising in 2026, fixed, variable and split loans each come with trade-offs in certainty, flexibility and cost, so the right choice depends on how you live and spend, not on guessing where rates go next.
Queensland first home buyers can currently draw on the federal 5% Deposit Scheme, a $30,000 grant for new homes and stamp duty concessions, but each has its own rules, and knowing how they fit together before you buy can make a real difference.
Whether you're just starting to explore your options or ready to move Mark and the team are here to help. Get in touch for a no-obligation chat and find out what's possible for your situation.
