First home buyer eligibility in Merewether (2291)

First home buyer assistance in NSW is structured around price thresholds that have not kept pace with Sydney property prices in many postcodes. In Merewether (2291), understanding whether the suburb's typical sale prices fall inside or outside the concession range is a practical starting point for budget planning. The card below also covers the First Home Guarantee (federal) and the NSW Shared Equity Home Buyer Helper scheme where relevant.

First home buyer eligibility is not just about the purchase price. It also requires that you have never previously owned residential property anywhere in Australia or overseas, that you intend to live in the property, and that the property meets the relevant definition of residential property for the grant and concession purpose. The Revenue NSW website has an eligibility checker; consult a solicitor or conveyancer before relying on any eligibility assessment in Merewether 2291.
