Buying your first home can feel exciting, overwhelming and a little bit confusing, often all at once. There’s a deposit to think about. Grants and concessions to check. Loan options to understand. Lender’s Mortgage Insurance, stamp duty, pre-approval, savings history, suddenly, a milestone that should feel exciting can start to feel like a lot of admin.
That’s why we’ve created the First Home Buyers Guide for The Avenue - Coburg.
Created in collaboration with Mortgage Domayne, the guide brings together practical first home buyer information to help you understand common terms, support pathways and the questions to ask before speaking with a mortgage broker or lender.
What the guide covers
The First Home Buyers Guide brings together useful information in one easy place, including:
- Support options that may help reduce upfront costs
- Key terms made easier to understand
- What buying at The Avenue could look like
- Questions to ask before you apply
- Choosing a home that suits your day to day
More than a finance conversation
It is also about finding a home that suits how you want to live. For many first home buyers, that means staying close to the places and people they already know, while choosing a home that feels easier to manage, better connected and designed for everyday life.
At The Avenue, that means contemporary apartment living in a connected Coburg location, close to Sydney Road, public transport, local cafés, parks and daily essentials. It is a place shaped around walkability, connection and a more low-maintenance way to live northside.
Start with what you know
A helpful first step is to get clear on where you are now.
- How much have you saved?
- Do you have a rough budget in mind?
- Have you spoken to a mortgage broker or lender?
- Do you know whether you may be eligible for the First Home Owner Grant, the 5% Deposit Scheme or stamp duty support?
- Have you thought about the type of apartment that would suit your lifestyle?
You might not have all the answers, but having these questions in front of you can make the next conversation much easier.
