Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 12, 2009 11:22 pm An increase from $26k to $32k if contract is signed between 1 July 2009 and 30 September 2009 for Victorian Metropolitan FirstHomebuyer. This is the article from news.com.au: In one of the most hotly anticipated issues leading up to tonight, the boost to the first home owners grant will be continued in full until October 1 October. From then, it will be halved to $10,500 for existing homes, and $14,000 to new homes. The boost will end on December 31, although the existing $7000 first home owners grant will continue.

The boost to the grant has cost the Government around $480 million this year. Mr Rudd's comments sent prospective first-time buyers into a panic, sparking a rush on weekend house auctions. Whilst those who rushed to purchase in the past few weeks might feel dudded, real estate industry professionals will no doubt be cheering the development.
