  • That we prefer the 'Help to Buy' scheme to the 'Super for Housing' scheme.

    Both major Australian political parties have proposed competing measures to assist first-home buyers. Labor have proposed the 'Help to Buy' scheme where the federal government would contribute up to 40% of the purchase price of a property, reducing the deposit and interest payments, in return for a 40% stake in the property. Homeowners could pay the government back over time or when they sell the property. The Coalition have proposed the 'Super for Housing' scheme where buyers can access up to $50k from their superannuation to contribute to a deposit on a house. Both schemes have eligibility requirements and other conditions.
