Australian Government Announce HomeBuilder Incentive

The Australian Government has announced a home building initiative aimed to stimulate and revive the housing construction industry, which is great news for people looking to purchase in one of Wolfdene’s Communities.

Under this federal scheme, $25k cash will be available to eligible buyers to build a new home (including townhomes) – whether first home buyers or not, where the house and land value is less than $750,000.

The Federal Government’s $25k HomeBuilder Grant*, $10k FHOG and generous State Government stamp duty concessions* make it the perfect time for you to buy – especially if you are an eligible first homebuyer.

 See below the potential savings outlined by a Wolfdene Case Study:
