Buying in TAS

What changes when you compare home loans in Tasmania

The lenders on this page price nationally — your interest rate is the same buying in Hobart as it is anywhere else. What does change is the cash going in. First home buyers in TAS can combine the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant with the state stamp duty concession (50% concession on established homes ≤ $750,000 for fhbs (extended to 30 jun 2026)) and the federal Home Guarantee Scheme cap of $700,000 (Hobart + regional centres) / $550,000 (rest of TAS). Those three together can shift your minimum deposit by tens of thousands without ever touching the rate column above. MyHome Shared Equity also runs in TAS for eligible buyers — see the panel below.

Federal scheme · Available nationwide

Home Guarantee Scheme — 5% deposit, no LMI
