Research Government Grants   

Government grants for first home buyers can be a lifesaver. Check out the New South Wales government website for more information, or your local state government website and see all the possibilities that are available for a first home purchase. In NSW, there is the First Home Owner's Grant for new homes, new build houses and new build construction; as well as the First Home Buyer Assistance Scheme. Those looking for their first home purchase will be eligible for a $10,000 grant and can arrange finance through an approved agent. This makes saving your deposit even easier and takes some of the stress away when investing in your first property.

Look into House & Land Packages

House and land packages are also a great option when buying your first home. New build houses are available through McDonald Jones Homes with the house and land packages in NSW. These packages take away the stress of building and are full of inclusions that would otherwise cost you extra. The benefits of buying a fixed price home or investing in land and house packages are many and can be the key to creating your dream home. Here at McDonald Jones Homes, we also offer a range of fixed price home packages, to take the stress of the ever-changing housing market away.
