buying an off-the-plan apartment;
buying land and a new home (contract to build - comprehensive building contract); or
an owner of vacant land that you are building a new home on;

in South Australia and that home will be your principal place of residence.

*A new home is one that has not been previously occupied or sold as a place of residence and includes a substantially renovated home.

You may be eligible, as a first home buyer for a grant of up to $15,000 on the purchase or construction of a new residential home in South Australia.

If you entered into your contract on or before 5 June 2024, a first home owner grant is available for new homes with a value of up to:

$650,000 or less where the contract was entered between 15 June 2023 and 5 June 2024; or

You may be eligible for the grant if you are:

an Australian citizen or permanent resident. New Zealand citizens permanently residing in Australia who hold Special Category Visas may also apply. Only one applicant must meet this eligibility requirement.
at least 18 years of age.
a natural person.

Ownership of, or an interest in, other residential property is considered in determining your eligibility for the first home owner grant. This includes residential property you have previously owned, and residential property currently owned or previously owned by your spouse/domestic partner.

Each applicant must reside in the home as their principal place of residence for a continuous period of at least six months commencing within 12 months of date of settlement for contracts to purchase, or the date construction is completed for owner builders or contracts to build.

We feel like we’re living in 5-star accommodation

We love the quality of materials used and the little details that make our home different from others. Though we don't have a big house, we feel like we are living in 5-star accommodation because of the quality inclusions. Hotondo Homes Toowoomba nailed the floor plan that we wanted, and we had a lot of compliments from friends about it. Steve really listens to what the clients want. May be a bit pricier than other builders, but it's really worth it given the quality of the home.

It was worth building a home than buying one!

I definitely recommend Hotondo for anyone looking to build, in the long run I could see that it was worth my time building a home than buying one. It suits our current lifestyle perfectly and we look forward to building again someday!

Everything was seamless!

This was our first new home build and what we thought was going to be a nerve-wracking experience turned into a pleasurable journey. From our first meeting with Jimmy to our day of colour selection with Julie, everything was seamless. The office staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and our site manager Dustin was a pleasure to work with as were the tradies. I would highly recommend Hotondo Homes to anyone!
