At FHBA we are passionate about helping aspiring first home buyers buy their slice of the great Australia dream. Two of our most FAQs when it comes to buying your first home is ‘Do I have enough to buy my first home?’ and ‘What is the minimum deposit I need to buy my first home?’

To answer these questions we have designed an easy-to-use tool that allows you to self-estimate how far away you are from purchasing your first home in your desired suburb and the approximate minimum deposit required for your first home. We call it the ‘FHBA Eligibility Estimator’.

How will the FHBA Eligibility Estimator help me?

The main function of the Eligibility Estimator is to allow you to self-compare different deposit options/costs in a particular suburb. However, as part of the tool, we will send you (straight to your inbox) a complimentary Australian Property Monitors (APM) Postcode Report, for your selected suburb/postcode upon completion of the Eligibility Estimator. You can select as many suburbs as you like!

The reports will provide you with some factual information, allowing you to research your dream suburbs. The reports include the following key information:

  • Median Suburb property price & price movement over the last 12 months
  • Last 20 years median price history
  • Peak selling periods(by month)
  • Price range segmentation (what price range properties have sold in the last 12 months)
  • Recently sold properties (price & address)
  • Properties available for rent (great for renters & rentvestors)
