Will you benefit from the new HomeBuilder grant?

Last week, the government announced a new HomeBuilder grant to inject more life into the residential construction market across Australia.

So how much is this grant?

The HomeBuilder grant is a $25,000 time-limited program to home owner-occupiers who are either building a home or substantially renovating one.

This grant applies if you are buying a new home worth no more than $750,000, or renovating your current home for between $150,000 and $750,000.

How long is the scheme running for?

The HomeBuilder grant will be available for building contracts signed between June 4 and December 31, 2020, and where construction or renovation starts within three months of the contract date.

What’s the catch?

This scheme has a number of specific caveats. The key one is that the construction price of the new home must be between $150,000 and $750,000.

There’s also the time limit which basically restricts eligibility to within the next nine months so you will need to move quickly.
