For many Australians, saving a 20% deposit feels impossible.
The Australian Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme may help eligible buyers enter the market sooner with a deposit as low as 5%, while avoiding Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). More than 300,000 Australians have purchased or built homes with support from government-backed home buyer initiatives.
What This Means
Rather than waiting years to save a larger deposit, eligible buyers may be able to purchase sooner. However, buying the right home remains just as important as getting into the market.
Thinking Beyond the First Home
Many first-home buyers focus solely on getting into the market. A better question may be:
“How can my first home help me build future wealth?”
