## Resource

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. Migration is slowly climbing from a low base, and inflation data looms as a key factor influencing future mortgage rates. A targeted boost for first-timers amid a sluggish, stabilizing market.
