Episode 15: Unlocking First Home Buyer Support in Tasmania

Tasmania offers a mix of incentives that can help first home buyers cut upfront costs and get into the market sooner. From full stamp duty exemptions on established homes, to a $10,000 First Home Owner Grant for new builds, the First Home Guarantee with higher price caps, and the MyHome shared equity scheme, there’s a lot to weigh up.

In this episode, Jack Elliott walks you through what’s available in Tasmania as of October 2025, who’s eligible, and the key benefits and trade-offs to consider. You’ll also learn why long-term strategy and asset quality should guide your decisions, not just chasing the biggest discount.
