The government's First Home Buyer Guarantee scheme will allow thousands more renters, who are struggling to save for the usual 20 per cent home deposit, the chance to enter the property market. But experts say the scheme, brought forward by three months to October, may not be as helpful as it initially sounds. They say it leaves those using the scheme financially vulnerable, and shuts out low-income earners. And for the next generation of first home buyers, it could make their journey to property ownership even harder. - সরকারের ফার্স্ট হোম বায়ার স্কিমের মাধ্যমে হাজার হাজার ভাড়াটে, যারা প্রচলিত ২০ শতাংশ ডিপোজিট জমাতে হিমশিম খাচ্ছেন, তারা সম্পত্তির বাজারে প্রবেশের সুযোগ পাবেন। কিন্তু বিশেষজ্ঞরা বলছেন, এই প্রকল্পটি তিন মাস এগিয়ে এনে অক্টোবর থেকে কার্যকর করা হলেও, এটি যতোটা সহায়ক শোনায়, বাস্তবে ততটা নাও হতে পারে। তাদের মতে, এই প্রকল্পটি ব্যবহারকারীদেরকে আর্থিকভাবে ঝুঁকিপূর্ণ অবস্থায় ফেলে দেয় এবং স্বল্প আয়ের মানুষের জন্য সুযোগ কার্যত বন্ধ করে দেয়। আর, আগামী প্রজন্মের প্রথম গৃহক্রেতাদের জন্য এটি সম্পত্তির মালিকানা অর্জনের পথকে আরও কঠিন করে তুলতে পারে।

The Australian government has expanded the First Home Buyer Guarantee scheme to help young people purchase homes sooner. While the government describes it as a major relief for first-time buyers, the opposition warns that it could drive housing prices up further. Tune in to this podcast with Sydney-based real estate agent Raj Bhandari, as we discuss the housing situation.

De First Home Buyer Guarantee-regeling van de overheid biedt duizenden huurders, die moeite hebben om de gebruikelijke aanbetaling van 20% te sparen, de kans om de woningmarkt te betreden. Maar experts zeggen dat de regeling, die met drie maanden is vervroegd naar oktober, mogelijk niet zo nuttig is als aanvankelijk wordt gedacht.

Investors may sit back and wait for further cuts to the Official Cash Rate as first home buyers surge into the housing market. The Cotality Monthly Housing Chart shows first home buyers account for 27% of market activity in July – the highest proportion in 20 years. The Reserve Bank this week cut the OCR another 25-basis points to 3%. Cotality NZ Chief Property Economist Kelvin Davidson told Mike Hosking first home buyers are taking advantage of a quiet market as others hold off. He believes a reason people are waiting is job uncertainty and the labour market. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A notable shift in the housing market as first home buyers have the highest share of purchases in two decades.

Head of Squirrel Mortgages' David Cunningham told Ryan Bridge there's less pressure on buyers to instantly throw an offer on a home. He says interest rates have gone down, KiwiSaver balances are higher, and there's less competition. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The property landscape for first-home buyers has transformed dramatically, with profound implications for anyone looking to step onto the property ladder in 2025. Gone are the days when purchasing your first home meant being in your mid-twenties with a modest deposit saved over a few years. Today's reality is starkly different.Sydney's first-time buyers are now predominantly in the 30-40 age bracket, having spent between 6-10 years accumulating enough savings for a deposit—more than double the 3-4 years it took a decade ago. With median house prices hovering around $1.6 million, the mathematics are daunting. A 20% deposit means having $320,000 ready to go, an almost impossible feat without additional support.This financial hurdle has given rise to what's now known as "the Bank of Mom and Dad," Australia's ninth largest property lender. The statistics are eye-opening: 60-70% of first-home buyers receive parental assistance in some form. Rather than viewing this as exceptional, the experts suggest normalizing these conversations about family support, acknowledging it as a common pathway into today's property market.Strategic approaches are becoming increasingly sophisticated among first-time buyers. "Rent-vesting"—buying an investment property while continuing to rent elsewhere or live with parents—has emerged as a popular strategy. Many buyers are leveraging government incentives by initially moving into their purchase (sometimes just before deadline requirements) before converting it to an investment property to maximize tax benefits and capital gains exemptions.Recent interest rate cuts have injected fresh energy into the market. With each 1% reduction in rates translating to approximately 10% more borrowing capacity, previously sidelined buyers are returning to auctions and inspections in force. This timing creates both opportunity and urgency for first-home buyers, particularly in supply-constrained areas like Sydney's Northern Beaches.Ready to take your first step into property ownership? Speak with a mortgage broker, explore government assistance schemes, have honest conversations with family about potential support, and remember—successful first-home buyers today combine multiple strategies with decisive action. The property market waits for no one, especially with increasing competition from returning investors.

The average first home buyer is getting older. A Cotality-Westpac report has found the average age of first home buyers has increased to 36 nationwide. It's 37 in Auckland, 36 in Wellington, and 35 in Christchurch – all figures are two or three years higher than average in 2019. Cotality Chief Property Economist Kelvin Davidson told Mike Hosking there's a range of reasons behind it. He says the affordability measures aren't much different than they were in 2019, so while affordability is an influence, lifestyle and career choices are definitely having an impact.

Twice this week, we've heard first-home buyers told that they have a rare opportunity to get into the property market. When both the Real Estate Institute and QV released their latest data, it came with a heads-up that it could be first-time buyers' big chance to act. But how much of that is true, and how much is property people talking a big game? Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Lisa Owen.

Economists are predicting the new first home buyer policies announced by Labor and the Coalition could worsen the housing crisis.

The Australian government and opposition party have both announced policies to address the country's housing crisis, with young people in particular priced out of the market. Labor say they want to drop deposits for mortgages to buy a home to five per cent, while the Coalition want to make mortgage repayments tax deductable. In an early release episode, Brendan Coates, who is the Grattan Institute's housing and economic security program director, talks through these policies and which could boost housing supply and home ownership.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
