Summary
The National party’s new First Home Loan plan aims to unlock homeownership for more Aussies by lifting income caps and allowing just a 5% deposit—with government backing—while still requiring proof of affordability. It’s not a free ride, but a strategic nudge for those near the finish line. Meanwhile, the broader property market is cooling, with home values dipping in many suburbs over the past three months.
