Buying in Canberra

What changes when you compare home loans in Canberra

Canberra runs a stamp duty concession scheme in place of a flat first home grant, so the cash advantage there comes through duty rather than a lump-sum payment. 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 Canberra can combine the Home Buyer Concession Scheme that replaces the grant in ACT with the ACT stamp duty concession and the federal Home Guarantee Scheme cap of $1,000,000. Those three can move your minimum deposit by tens of thousands without touching the rate column above.

Canberra home loan rate FAQs

What are the lowest home loan rates in Canberra?

Our table is sorted by comparison rate so the lowest rates sit at the top, refreshed daily.

Home Buyer Concession Scheme replaces FHOG. Full stamp duty concession for eligible buyers (income-tested, no property cap as of mid-2023 update).
