First home buyer eligibility in Thirroul (2515)

First home buyer stamp duty concessions and grants in Thirroul (2515) depend on the purchase price relative to the NSW Government thresholds in effect at the time of purchase. For properties up to $800,000, first home buyers are eligible for a full stamp duty (transfer duty) exemption. A concessional rate applies on properties between $800,000 and $1,000,000. The First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) of $10,000 applies to new dwellings up to $750,000. Thirroul is in the Wollongong LGA.

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 Thirroul 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.
