What changes when you compare home loans in Hobart
Hobart is the most affordable mainland-capital alternative on this list, and Tasmania pairs it with a large temporary first home grant and a shared-equity option. 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 Hobart can combine the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant with the TAS stamp duty concession and the federal Home Guarantee Scheme cap of $700,000 (Hobart + regional centres) / $550,000 (rest of TAS). Those three can move your minimum deposit by tens of thousands without touching the rate column above.
