NEW HOME BUILDERS GRANT

On the 1st of July, the QLD government introduced the new home builders grant. If you have owned a house, and are wanting to build a new home. The state government will give you $10,000. If you are a first home owner and wish to build, you will be entitled to $17,000. I'm not sure if the first home buyer is still eempt from stamp duty either. What a bonus!

I'm so upset, we missed it by 5 and half months.

Rachel & Sandy, I wonder if you're eligible?

Exactly what I was wondering. Thanks for the info I will do some research - 10k would come in very useful

No we don't qualify. It's for contracts signed from august 2011 to end january 2012. Plus house and land value needs to be under $600,000. But it's good info for people planning to do or buy a new build home

How disappointing. We don't get any credit for keeping the industry alive during the low period.

I might have saved $10,000 in price escalations, had I built now anyway.
