First Home Owner Grant Extended

Big Win for First Home Buyers in Queensland: What the $30K Grant Means for You

If you’ve been dreaming about buying your first home on the Gold Coast or anywhere in Queensland, the timing has never been better. With new government initiatives designed to ease the cost of entry into the property market, first home buyers are finally getting the kind of support they’ve been waiting for and it could bring your dream home closer than you think.

Queensland’s $30,000 First Home Owner Grant Extended

The Queensland Government has officially extended the boosted $30,000 First Home Owner Grant for another 12 months - now available until 30 June 2026. This generous grant is available to eligible buyers who build or purchase a brand-new home, making it a great opportunity to choose a custom build and create a home that truly fits your lifestyle.

But the good news doesn’t stop there.

What’s New for First Home Buyers in 2025:

• $30,000 First Home Owner Grant – Available for new builds and eligible property purchases.

• Zero Stamp Duty – First home buyers building or buying new homes now pay no stamp duty in Queensland.

• More Flexibility – New policy changes allow first home buyers to rent out a room in their new home, helping ease mortgage pressure.

These updates are part of a broader strategy to support housing supply and make ownership more accessible to young Queenslanders and families who may have felt locked out of the market.

What Could This Mean for You?

The combined impact of these initiatives can add up to real savings:

1. Up to $30,000 in government grant funding

2. Stamp duty savings of up to $16,996 (on a $700,000 home)

3. Additional income potential by renting a room or space in your new build

That’s over $45,000 in combined financial advantage — funds that could go toward your deposit, custom upgrades, landscaping, or furnishing your home.

Why This Matters – Especially for First-Time Builders
