Buyers Take Advantage of Home Affordability High

Latest Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) statistics show Australia has the highest level of housing affordability in close to six years, with the proportion of family income required to meet loan repayments dropping to 28.6%.

"Peet has a range of affordable, quality homesites available at six estates in popular areas throughout Melbourne's outer suburbs," Mr Gore said

"Since the start of the year, we have seen increasing numbers of buyers taking advantage of the broad choice of homesites, low interest rates and buyer incentives on offer, to secure a new home.

"First homebuyers have been particularly active, with young investors using the grants to purchase their first homes while unprecedented incentives are available."

Home Owners Boost Extended

First homebuyers in Victoria can now access the most generous grants in Australia to build a new home at a Peet estate.

The Federal Government announced yesterday that the First Home Owners Boost (FHOB) would be on offer for another six months – though halving after 30 September 2009.

For eligible first homebuyers entering into contracts between 1 July and 30 September 2009 (inclusive) the FHOB will continue to provide $14,000 toward the purchase of new homes.

This is in addition to the $18,000 in other grants, including the First Home Owners Grant, already available to eligible first home owners, and the State’s First Home Bonus.

That means from 1 July until 30 September 2009, eligible first home owners signing a contract to build a home for less than $600,000 in metropolitan Victoria can receive up to $32,000 to help get themselves established!

Between 1 October 2009 and 31 December 2009, the FHOB for the purchase of new homes will halve to $7,000, so the total grants available to eligible first home owners who sign contracts during that period will be $25,000.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore has welcomed the extension of the FHOB on behalf first homebuyers.
Mr Gore said the steps involved in selecting a homesite and home design before signing a building contract meant time had been quickly running out for many eligible buyers before the extension was announced.

“Peet is pleased to offer a range of quality, affordable homesites to meet the needs of first homebuyers,” he said.

“The next few months give first homebuyers the ideal opportunity to secure a new home at a time when there’s a good choice of homesites available at very competitive prices and interest rates are low.”

While the extra State Government bonus is available from 1 July 2009, homebuyers are encouraged to act today to ensure they have time to select a lot and home design.

Before making a grant application, first homebuyers will need to:
• find a homesite
• choose their preferred builder
• select a home design
• sign the building contract

So, act now to access these first home owners’ grants:

Thousands More Good Reason To Build A Dream Home At a Peet Limited Estate

Interest rate cuts, stamp duty concessions and a $26,000 cash boost for first home buyers means building a brand new home at a Peet Limited estate is even more affordable.

First home buyers simply need to purchase their home site and sign a building contract between 14 October 2008 and 30 June 2009 to access their share of the Federal Government's new $1.5 billion First Home Owners Boost.

Supplemented by a $5,000 State Government's first home owner bonus – the two deliver a giant $26,000 kick start for first home buyers in Victoria.

First home buyers also save thousands through State Government stamp duty cuts announced earlier this year.

Plus, interest rate falls have seen some lenders drop their rates by more than 1% in the past two months. For a purchaser borrowing around $300,000, the savings quickly add up to around $2,200 over a full year.

When combined, the savings add up to thousands of good reasons to purchase a new homesite at a Peet estate in Victoria.

Boost for Buyers at Peet Estates

Securing a homesite in a Peet estate has become even more affordable thanks to the Federal Government’s First Home Owners Boost – a giant $21,000 kick start for first homebuyers who build or purchase a newly constructed home.

This new help for first homebuyers makes it even easier and more affordable to enter the property market and build their own home.

Buyers simply need to sign up between 14 October 2008 and 30 June 2009 to be eligible for this extra assistance, which supplements the first home owner schemes already in place at a State and Territory level.

Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said the Federal Government’s First Home Owners Boost is a good incentive for first homebuyers.

“Affordability is always a key issue for Peet in the planning and development of new estates,” he said.

“And it’s really pleasing to see State and Federal Government measures to help first-home buyers.”

“This is a massive boost for first homebuyers who can now turn their dream of owning their own home into reality.

“We’ll continue to address the affordability with a range of products and variety of block sizes to meet the needs of the market,” said Mr Gore.
