House and land packages are going to become almost impossible to get. Why?
The federal budget. Investors will need to buy new properties to access the biggest tax breaks.
This will make it much harder for first home buyers to compete and it will push prices higher for these properties.
House and land packages have been a life saver for first home buyers because they quite often don't have to save up for stamp duty and get a First Home Owner Grant.
There is a window. Investors are waiting for all these changes to be made legit however there is no serious opposition to this amongst politicians.
Many first home buyers are feeling comfortable waiting in all this uncertainty. This would be an argument to keep moving.
