When you think of first-home buyers, you might imagine young people just starting out and nowhere near the top of the salary ladder. But data shows people able to purchase that first home are earning significantly more than your average houshold. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Lisa Owen.

The signals are everywhere if you know where to look. While most investors are distracted by headlines, we've uncovered the perfect storm of conditions brewing in Australia's property market.

We reveal: The RBA's coming rate cuts and the liquidity tsunami that follows Australia's worsening supply crisis (and why building approvals keep falling) The 300,000+ migration wave colliding with relaxed foreign investment rules How the First Home Buyer scheme is supercharging specific price points Why consumer confidence is finally turning positive after years of decline Plus: Why some areas could see 20-30% growth while others might see just 0-5% (and how to position yourself for the winners) This isn't speculation - it's a data-driven forecast of where capital is flowing and why the window for action is rapidly closing.

The central bank's looking at increasing the new lending limit for first-home buyers and property investors.

This week, Labor expanded Australia's first home guarantee to allow more buyers access to a mortgage with a reduced deposit of 5%. But the plan has many critics. Guardian Australia political editor, Tom McIlroy, speaks to the federal minister for housing and homelessness, Clare O'Neil, about why she thinks the government is pulling on the correct levers to address the housing crisis

நாட்டில் First Home Buyers - முதலாவது வீடு வாங்குபவர்களுக்கான அரசின் புதிய 5% Deposit Scheme - முற்பணத் திட்டம் அறிமுகப்படுத்தப்பட்டுள்ளது. இதுபற்றிய செய்தியின் பின்னணியினை வழங்குகிறார் மகேஸ்வரன் பிரபாகரன்.

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. - Программа First Home Buyer Guarantee теперь позволит всем покупателям первого жилья приобрести дом, имея всего 5 процентов первоначального взноса, а для родителей-одиночек — всего 2 процента.

Buying your first home just got easier… the Government hopes. Its new home ownership scheme comes into effect from today, allowing first-time purchasers to secure a home with a 5% deposit, down from the standard 20%.

A softer housing market is good news for first-home buyers, but not for everyone. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Starting 1 October, the federal government will expand the Home Loan Guarantee for first-time buyers in a bid to address Australia's rising housing market. The scheme will help more buyers enter the market, but could also drive up housing prices. In this podcast, we feature a financial expert, Niti Bhargava, who says that first homes don't have to be dream homes; they can be a stepping stone.

Parents and grandparents are increasingly offering financial assistance to family members with 20 per cent saying they provided help in the last quarter, so SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves speaks with UBS Economist Stephen Wu to find out to what extent they're helping. Plus Kyle Rodda from capital.com looks through the day's sharemarket action and previews the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision.

A helping hand from the Bank of Mum and Dad can leave first-home buyers more than $1 million better off in retirement. RNZ and Simplicity economist Shamubeel Eaqub ran the numbers comparing the outlook for a young person whose parents could give them $100,000 to help buy a house, to that of someone who had to save their full deposit themselves. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Lisa Owen.

For a long time to buy a home in Australia you needed a 20 per cent deposit or you'd have to pay a big lender's mortgage insurance fee.It's asking a lot, given house prices in our major cities are around the million-dollar mark or more. This week, the government expanded a five per cent deposit scheme for first home buyers, with no income caps and more expensive homes now eligible. Today, finance expert Alan Kohler on how it works, what it means for house prices and why he's a huge fan of the scheme. Featured: Alan Kohler, ABC finance expert

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.

What happens when the Great Australian Dream becomes a financial nightmare? In 2025, buying your first home in Australia has become less of a rite of passage and more of a high-stakes gamble. Record-high deposits, sky-high property prices, and mortgage repayments eating up more than 30% of many buyers' income - it's no wonder almost half of all first home buyers now regret their decision. Today, I'm joined by Sarah Megginson, personal finance expert at Finder to discuss their First Home Buyer Report 2025 which reveals the rising pressure on young Australians trying to break into the property market - from paying well over budget to being left with no savings at all after settling. We discuss why buyer's remorse is soaring, how affordability is vanishing, and what it all means for the future of home ownership in Australia.
