Buying in WA
What changes when you compare home loans in Western Australia
The lenders on this page price nationally, your interest rate is the same buying in Perth as it is anywhere else. What does change is the cash going in. First home buyers in WA can combine the Up to $10,000 First Home Owner Grant with the state stamp duty concession (full exemption on new or established homes ≤ $450,000; concessional rates from $450,000 to $600,000) and the federal Home Guarantee Scheme cap of $850,000 (Perth) / $600,000 (rest of WA). Those three together can shift your minimum deposit by tens of thousands without ever touching the rate column above. Keystart Home Loans also runs in WA for eligible buyers, see the panel below.

How can I compare home loan rates in Western Australia?
Compare the interest rate and comparison rate for the same loan, then check fees, repayment type and features such as offset or redraw. A comparison rate helps compare costs, but the loan amount, term and eligibility also matter. Use the repayment calculator to explore repayments for your loan amount and term.
Home loans outside Perth
Unlike New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, Western Australia has no regional centres named on the Home Guarantee Scheme’s price-cap list. That means a buyer in Mandurah, Bunbury or Geraldton sits on the same flat $600,000 cap as the rest of regional WA, with no carve-out for size or distance from Perth the way Newcastle, Geelong or the Gold Coast get one in their own states. Only Perth gets the higher $850,000 cap, a straight capital-versus-everywhere-else split with no exceptions. Rates themselves aren’t affected either way, lenders price a loan the same regardless of postcode, so a regional WA refinance sees the exact same comparison-rate table above as a Perth one.
