Save Thousands on Your First Home with Stamp Duty Concessions

Great news for First Home Buyers!

From 1 May 2025, you could save thousands with new stamp duty concessions — whether you're building on vacant land or moving into a brand-new home. And at Ausbuild, we're here to make it simple.

Our Home and Land Consultants are here to help you make the most of these changes and step into your dream home sooner.

Two Ways to Save

Depending on what you're buying, there are two opportunities to pay $0 Stamp Duty:

How the Concessions Work

First Home Vacant Land Concession

If you're buying vacant land to build your first home, and you meet the eligibility criteria, you could pay $0 Stamp Duty on your land purchase.

Key eligibility:

• Contract signed on or after 1st May 2025
• Land must be completely vacant at contract signing
• Over 18 years old
• Build and live in the home within 2 years of settlement
• Live in the home for at least 1 year
• No prior property ownership in Australia or overseas
• No value limit on your home and land package
• No residency requirement — perfect for buyers under FIRB approval

After your first year living in the home, you’re free to rent it out without losing the concession benefits.

First Home (New Home) Concession

If you’re buying a completed, brand-new home that's never been lived in, you could also pay no stamp duty — keeping more money in your pocket.

Key eligibility:

• Contract signed on or after 1st May 2025
• Home must be brand-new (never occupied)
• Over 18 years old
• Move in within 1 year of settlement
• Live in the home for at least 1 year
• No prior property ownership in Australia or overseas
• No value cap on the home

Why These Changes Matter

• Lower upfront costs mean it’s easier to take the first step into home ownership.
• No price limits give you more choice — whether you're looking for something simple or a larger family home.
• Clearer, more flexible rules mean you can plan ahead with confidence.
• More opportunities for a wider range of buyers, even those who are newer to Australia.

The new concessions make it simpler to move forward — and Ausbuild is ready to help you make it happen.
