🚨 **Big News for First Home Buyers in Australia!** 🚨
From **1 October 2025**, the 5% Deposit / Home Guarantee Scheme has expanded — making it easier than ever to get into your first home.
Here’s what’s changed:
✅ Buy with just a **5% deposit** and **no Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI)**
✅ **No income caps** — open to more buyers
✅ **No limit on spots** — no need to rush for a place
✅ **Higher property price caps** — up to $1.5m in Sydney, $1m in Brisbane, $950k in Melbourne (with increases across other regions too)
👉 What this means: you can enter the market sooner, save tens of thousands on LMI, and have more choice of homes.
⚠️ But remember: buying with a small deposit still comes with higher repayments and less buffer if rates rise. Make sure you know what’s right for your situation.
If you’re a first home buyer and want to understand how this scheme could work for you, send me a message — I’d be happy to guide you through it.
