Once the oversupply has been absorbed (which might take a few years), prices will begin rising again in good quality suburbs.\u00a0<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"30155398 - suburban houses seen from high vantage point\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/puassets.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/30155398_l-300x200.jpg?resize=300%2C200\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/li>\n<li><strong>Be careful in your choice of product.<\/strong>\u00a0Focus on good quality developments and choose an apartment that has some unique features, such as a particularly large floor plan, generous balconies or courtyards, great privacy, views or a north aspect. Avoid small uninspiring apartments in developments where every property is the same.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shop around for finance.<\/strong>\u00a0Some lenders are avoiding certain postcodes (primarily central CBD areas) not because they\u2019re bad areas to buy in, but because the oversupply creates too much short-term risk for the banks. So you\u2019ll need to talk to a broker to find out which lenders are appropriate for you if you want to buy in these areas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buy for the long term.<\/strong>\u00a0I can\u2019t stress this enough. The oversupply will take some time to run its course. Don\u2019t put yourself in a situation where you need to sell during the oversupply period. Oversupplies are only advantageous to buyers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here is a brief overview of the grants and stamp duty concessions available in each state and territory.<br \/>\nFor more comprehensive information, go to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.firsthome.gov.au\/\">www.firsthome.gov.au<\/a>.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>New South Wales<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Grants<\/strong><br \/>\nName: First Home Owner Grant (New Homes) scheme\u00a0<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"house real estate search property lease buy house couple first home saver\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/puassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/house-real-estate-search-property-lease-buy-house-couple-first-home-saver-300x187.jpg?resize=300%2C187\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" \/><br \/>\nEligible price point: $750,000 or less<br \/>\nEligible properties: New homes<br \/>\nAmount: $10,000<br \/>\n<strong>Stamp duty concessions<\/strong><br \/>\nName: First Home \u2013 New Home scheme<br \/>\nEligible price point: Full exemption up to $550,000, concessional rates for new homes valued between $550,000 and $650,000<br \/>\nEligible properties: New homes<\/p>\n<h4>Victoria<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Grants<\/strong><br \/>\nName: First Home Owner Grant<br \/>\nEligible price point: $750,000 or less<br \/>\nEligible properties: New homes<br \/>\nAmount: $10,000<br \/>\n<strong>Stamp duty concessions\u00a0<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"key price afford cost house property market lock first home expensive\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/puassets.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/key-price-afford-cost-house-property-market-lock-first-home-expensive-300x166.jpg?resize=300%2C166\" width=\"300\" height=\"166\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\nName: First home buyer duty reduction<br \/>\nEligible price point: $600,000 or less<br \/>\nEligible properties: All properties<br \/>\nAmount: Up to 50% discount on stamp duty<br \/>\nNote: A second scheme called the Off-the-Plan Concession\u00a0provides a further discount specifically for off-the-plan purchases<\/p>\n<h4>Queensland<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Grants<\/strong><br \/>\nName: First Home Owners\u2019 Grant<br \/>\nEligible price point: $750,000 or less<br \/>\nEligible properties: New homes<br \/>\nAmount: $20,000 until June 30, 2017<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"young-couple-dream-home-first-buyer-300x164\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/puassets.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/young-couple-dream-home-first-buyer-300x164-300x164.jpg?resize=300%2C164\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Stamp duty concessions\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nName: First Home Concession<br \/>\nEligible price point: $550,000 or less<br \/>\nEligible properties: All properties<br \/>\nAmount: Stamp duty exempt to $500,000, sliding scale from $500,000 &#8211;
