Get Into Your New Home Faster With The First Home Owners' Grant

Getting the keys to your first home is one of the most important days, and biggest achievements of your life. Home ownership is also the biggest investment people will ever make, and getting out of the rental trap is the first step to building personal wealth. There is no better feeling that knowing you have somewhere to truly call your own. With housing affordability starting to become an issue in metropolitan areas of Australia, it is great to see the state governments stepping up and making it easier for first home buyers to get their first foot on the property ladder. Queensland for example currently is offering a First Home Owners' Grant of $20,000, but only until 30 June 2017. Depending on the date that you sign the contract, you can receive between $15,000 to $20,000 towards buying or building your new home, unit or townhouse (valued at less than $750,000). Grant schemes like this are great, as they allow you to buy off the plan, or build yourself. By looking at the great designs and comparing builders on iBuildNew, you will be able to find the perfect Queensland builder for your needs.
