First Home Buyer Savings in Tasmania
We might already be halfway through 2020, but there’s still time for you to start your building journey with Hotondo Homes. With some absolutely amazing grants and offers available, this is the perfect time for first home buyers to take the leap and become home owners. From the HomeBuilder stimulus, the Tasmanian First Home Owner's Grant and our First Home Buyers Headstart promotion, you won’t want to miss out! Read on for our summary of each below.
What is the HomeBuilder Stimulus?
The Federal Government’s newly announced HomeBuilder stimulus scheme is a win for those wanting to build a new home in Australia. The stimulus of $25,000 will be given to eligible owner-occupiers to spend on the construction of a new home when they enter into a building contract with a licenced builder between June 4, 2020 and December 31, 2020, with building work commencing within three months of the contract being signed. The scheme is designed to help both first home buyers enter the property market sooner and those looking at constructing a new home to live in. The stimulus will be means tested, with individuals earning over $125,000 a year and couples earning a combined $200,000 a year excluded. The construction of the new home will be capped at a value of $750,000, including the land. The scheme does not apply to investment properties or owners who intend to build a home on their own without the help of builders, however it is available in conjunction with the First Home Owner grant, those accessing the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme, and alongside our Headstart promotion.
Stamp Duty Savings and the First Home Owner's Grant
The State Revenue Office in Tasmania is offering those building a new residence or purchasing a newly built residence a grant of up to $20,000. The contract of sale, or the contract of sale to buy “off the plan” must be entered in to between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2022, and the home must not have been previously occupied or sold as a place of residence. Building must be complete within 24 months of entering in to the contract to build.
