Buying in Adelaide

What changes when you compare home loans in Adelaide

Adelaide has run as one of the steadier capital markets, and South Australia layers a state-owned low-deposit lender over its first home grant. Your interest rate does not change with your postcode, but the size of the loan does, and so does the cash going in. First home buyers in Adelaide can combine the $15,000 First Home Owner Grant with the SA stamp duty concession and the federal Home Guarantee Scheme cap of $900,000 (Adelaide) / $500,000 (rest of SA). Those three can move your minimum deposit by tens of thousands without touching the rate column above.
