Owner-occupier in ACT

What changes when you compare owner-occupier loans in Australian Capital Territory

Owner-occupier pricing on the panel above is national — the rate is the same buying in Canberra as it is anywhere else. What does change is the cash going in. ACT buyers can combine the Home Buyer Concession Scheme (which replaces the FHOG in ACT) with the state stamp duty concession (home buyer concession scheme replaces fhog. full stamp duty concession for eligible buyers (income-tested, no property cap as of mid-2023 update)) and the federal Home Guarantee Scheme cap of $1,000,000. Those three together can shift your minimum deposit by tens of thousands without ever touching the rate column above.

Federal scheme · Available nationwide

Home Guarantee Scheme — 5% deposit, no LMI

Buy a home with as little as a 5% deposit without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance — the federal government guarantees the rest. Since 1 October 2025 the scheme has unlimited places, no income caps, and significantly higher property caps. The property must be your principal place of residence (no investors).

First Home Guarantee
5% deposit, no LMI
Regional FHB Guarantee
