First home buyer eligibility in Leura (2780)
Are first home buyer concessions accessible in Leura? The FHB eligibility card below compares the NSW stamp duty exemption and concession thresholds to the median dwelling price in Leura 2780. In many inner and middle-ring Sydney suburbs, median prices exceed the $1,000,000 concession ceiling, making stamp duty a full additional cost at the purchase price. The card tells you where Leura sits relative to those thresholds.
The NSW Government's First Home Buyer Choice scheme (now the property tax option) allows eligible first home buyers to opt for an annual property tax instead of upfront stamp duty on properties up to $1,500,000. This can significantly improve cash-flow at settlement for buyers in the Leura price bracket, but it involves long-term tax commitments that depend on your ownership horizon. Run the numbers with a mortgage broker before choosing between stamp duty and property tax.
