Did you know the federal government has expanded its Home Guarantee Scheme eligibility from July 1st?
Some key changes are that permanent residents are now eligible to apply for the First Home Guarantee, the Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee & the Family Home Guarantee.
First Home and Regional First Home Buyer Guarantees can now include joint applications from friends, siblings & other family members, and include applications from non-first home buyers who haven't owned a property in 10 years.
Family Home Guarantee - We’ll be able to assist eligible legal guardians under the expanded eligibility criteria. This means single legal guardians will be able to apply under the Family Home Guarantee ensuring they have an eligible dependent under their care.Aunts, uncles, or grandparents are some examples.
If you're a first home buyer find out how this can help you.

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.
