The New Five Percent Deposit Scheme: What It Means for Sellers and Agents (and Why Presentation Matters More Than Ever)
Australia’s expanded First Home Guarantee is making it easier than ever for first time buyers to enter the market with just a five percent deposit, no income limits, and higher price thresholds. This surge in buyers is expected to increase competition in the entry to mid price brackets, create faster sales cycles, and shift buyer expectations. For sellers and agents, presentation has become more critical than ever. Staged homes attract more attention, create instant emotional connection, and encourage buyers to offer closer to their maximum budget. In Perth, where supply remains tight, well presented homes in popular suburbs are positioned to benefit the most. Whether your property is entry level or mid range, investing in professional staging can help you stand out online, reduce time on market, and achieve stronger offers in a highly competitive first home buyer market.
