🏡 BIG NEWS for WA First Home Buyers!

The WA Government has announced major increases to First Home Buyer stamp duty exemptions and concessions as part of the 2026–27 State Budget.

Here’s what’s changing:

✔️ No transfer duty on homes up to $600,000
✔️ Concessions available up to $800,000
✔️ Vacant land exemption increasing to $450,000
✔️ First Home Owner Grant cap increasing to $800,000 south of the 26th parallel
✔️ Expanded off-the-plan concessions extended to 30 June 2028

These changes apply to eligible contracts entered into from 7 May 2026, with implementation expected later this year.

For many buyers, this could mean significant savings when purchasing their first home 👏

As we head into the ANZAC Day long weekend, our office will be closed while we take time to reflect and honour those who served.

We’ll be back on deck Tuesday.
