Buying your first home can feel overwhelming – but it doesn’t have to be. Here’s what first-home buyers in Melbourne should keep in mind.
1. Know your budget. Understand your borrowing power and secure pre-approval.
2. Explore government grants. Victoria offers the First Home Owner Grant and stamp duty concessions.
3. Prioritise location. Suburbs like Tarneit, Craigieburn, and Officer are budget-friendly with good amenities.
4. Don’t skip inspections. Hire a qualified inspector to avoid surprises.
5. Work with a local agent. Someone who understands Melbourne’s market can save you money and stress.
Being informed gives you confidence. Take time, ask questions, and remember – you don’t have to figure it out alone. Core Realtors is here to help.
