First Home Buyers

What is the best age to buy your first home?

There is no perfect age to buy your first home. The best time depends on your financial readiness, stable income, savings for deposit, and long-term goals rather than age alone.

How much deposit do I need for my first home?

Most lenders prefer a 20% deposit, but some government schemes allow eligible buyers to purchase with as little as 5%, depending on property type and eligibility.

Should my first property be an investment or owner-occupied home?

This depends on your goals. Some buyers choose owner-occupied homes for lifestyle, while others prefer strategic investment properties for stronger long-term wealth creation.
