Hi Sean,
The First Home Owners Grant was good for first home buyers, the building sector and it did its part to keep the economy afloat. I just hope that there haven’t been too many of these grants given to people who really can’t afford to buy their own homes.
Still, a lot of good has come from this government grant.
This is a great Article! The Australian Government grant for first home buyers is a two sided move. It stimulates the real estate market and encourages people who would not normally be able to afford a house. It also makes people house themselves, because if they don’t then the Government has too. Brilliant.
