You could buy your first home in Sydney on a 5% deposit β and the price cap just jumped to $1.5 million. π
The First Home Guarantee changed in a big way on 1 October 2025:
β’ Income caps? Gone β no more $125k single / $200k couple limit.
β’ Places? Unlimited β the old 35,000-a-year cap is abolished.
β’ Deposit? As little as 5%, with no Lenders Mortgage Insurance (the government guarantees the rest).
β’ Sydney price cap? Now $1.5 million (up from $900k).
Who actually qualifies: first home buyers who haven't owned property here in 10 years, buying to live in, Australian citizens or permanent residents, with 5% genuine savings, through a participating lender.
Whether it's right for you comes down to your numbers β which is exactly what we check, for free.
