St.George, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA have joined the panel of lenders participating in the federal governmentโs Home Guarantee Scheme, taking the total to 41 lenders.
The rest of the panel includes three of the four major banks โ Commonwealth Bank, NAB and Westpac โ as well as Bendigo Bank, Auswide Bank, Bank Australia and a host of smaller banks, credit unions, building societies and non-bank lenders.
The Home Guarantee Scheme helps up to 45,000 owner-occupier first home buyers per financial year purchase a property with just a 5% deposit without having to pay lenderโs mortgage insurance.
However, 107,408 owner-occupier first home buyers applied for mortgages over the year to October, according to the most recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (see graph). In other words, there arenโt enough Home Guarantee Scheme places to go around. So if youโd like to take advantage of this incentive, it might be wise to speak to a broker soon, before all the places for the 2023-24 financial year are taken.
