Big changes are being proposed around housing affordability and first home buyers could benefit.
The government projects that proposed changes to negative gearing and CGT discounts could help move around 75,000 properties from investors to owner-occupiers over the next decade.
There’s also $2 billion being invested into infrastructure to help speed up new housing developments across Australia.
While these changes won’t happen overnight, they signal a stronger focus on improving access for future homeowners.
If you’re thinking about buying, understanding your borrowing power early can help you be ready when opportunities come up.
