Making Homeownership a Reality: Rivergum Homes and HomeStart’s 2% Deposit Loan for South Australians
Homeownership is a dream many South Australians hold dear, and now, with the introduction of HomeStart’s new 2% Deposit Loan, that dream is closer than ever. Rivergum Homes, a trusted Partner Builder of HomeStart, is at the forefront of this exciting initiative, making it easier for prospective buyers to secure their own homes with minimal upfront costs. This collaboration marks a significant shift in the housing market, offering a unique opportunity for individuals and families to step onto the property ladder with greater ease and confidence.
Understanding the 2% Deposit Loan: A Game-Changer for Homebuyers
The 2% Deposit Loan is a groundbreaking product designed to lower the barriers to homeownership for South Australians. Unlike traditional loans that often require a deposit of 10% or more, this new scheme allows eligible buyers to secure a loan with just a 2% deposit. This reduction in the required deposit can make a significant difference for many, turning the once daunting task of saving for a home into an achievable goal.
Rivergum Homes is uniquely positioned to help prospective buyers take full advantage of this opportunity. As a long-standing Partner Builder of HomeStart, Rivergum Homes has a deep understanding of the housing market and the needs of homebuyers. This partnership ensures that buyers are not only getting a high-quality home but are also receiving expert guidance on how to maximize the benefits of the 2% Deposit Loan.
Maximizing Benefits: The $15,000 First Home Owners Grant and $0 Stamp Duty
The advantages of the 2% Deposit Loan don’t stop at the deposit. Eligible buyers can also take advantage of the $15,000 First Home Owners Grant, further reducing the financial burden of purchasing a new home. This grant is a one-off payment that can be used towards the purchase or construction of a new home, providing a substantial boost to first-time buyers.
Moreover, homes valued up to $650,000 are exempt from stamp duty, which can be a significant saving. Stamp duty is often one of the largest upfront costs associated with buying a home, and its elimination on eligible properties under this scheme makes the process even more affordable. These combined benefits create a powerful incentive for buyers to take the plunge into homeownership.
Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) Exemption: A Financial Relief
One of the lesser-known costs associated with home loans is Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). Typically, LMI is required when a buyer has a deposit of less than 20%, and it can add thousands of dollars to the cost of a loan. However, loans secured through HomeStart under the 2% Deposit Loan scheme are exempt from LMI. This exemption can result in significant savings, allowing buyers to allocate their resources more effectively toward their new home or other financial goals.
