Home Ownership at Altura Just Became Easier
For many first-home buyers, the hardest part of the journey isn’t finding the right home, it’s saving the deposit. Between rent, bills and everyday living, hitting that 20% target can feel impossible.
The good news is, government incentives are helping more buyers get into the market sooner. From lower deposit options to grants and duty savings, there are now real pathways to home ownership, especially here at Altura.
Incentives Helping First-Home Buyers
Depending on eligibility, buyers at Altura may be able to access:
- Lower deposit options: The expanded Home Guarantee Scheme now allows eligible buyers to purchase with a smaller deposit, without needing to hit the usual 20%.
- Savings on Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI): This can save tens of thousands in upfront costs.
- $10,000 First Home Owner Grant (FHOG): Available for new build contracts up to $750,000*.
- Stamp duty concessions: Off-the-plan purchases may be assessed on land value only, creating more savings.
Together, these programs can make a major difference, helping first-home buyers step into the market sooner and with less financial strain.
At Altura, that means you could secure your new Sherwood 144 home from just $18,380*. That’s 5% down, minus the $10,000 FHOG.
