A clearer way to start your buying journey.

Buying your first home can feel overwhelming. Between deposits, repayments, support schemes and difference advice online, many buyers simply don’t know what to look at first. These two tools are here to help you get started.

Understand the process first

Our First Home Buyer Guide is designed to simplify the buying journey into clearer, more manageable steps, so you know what to expect at each stage.

It covers:

• The key stages of buying
• Support pathways that may be available to eligible buyers
• Things to consider before making a decision
• What to look for when comparing properties

Start with the First Home Buyer Guide.

Then look at your numbers

Once you have a clearer understanding of the buying journey, the next step is seeing what it could look like financially.

The Moneysmart mortgage calculator is a free government tool that helps buyers review different financial scenarios based on their own circumstances.

You can explore:

• Different deposit amounts
• Estimated repayments
• Loan terms and interest rates
• How changes to budget can impact repayments

Use the Moneysmart mortgage calculator to run your numbers.

Together, the guide and calculator help turn early research into something more practical and personalised.
