Big News for First Home Buyers: $30,000 Grant Extended!

The Queensland Government is making it easier than ever for first home buyers to step into the market — and Gemini Homes is here to help you take full advantage.

As part of a major cost-of-living relief package, the Crisafulli Government has extended the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant until 30 June 2026. That means more time, more opportunity, and real support for everyday Queenslanders chasing the Great Australian Dream.

And there’s more: stamp duty has now been abolished for eligible first home buyers who are building or buying a brand-new home. That’s serious upfront savings — and one less barrier between you and your first home.


What This Means for You

Whether you’re buying solo, with a partner, or for your growing family, these changes open the door to real home ownership — faster, smarter, and with more support.

$30,000 First Home Owner Grant for new builds or off-the-plan homes
No stamp duty on new builds for eligible first-time buyers
Available until 30 June 2026
Total home and land value must be under $750,000 to qualify
Stamp duty concessions also available for eligible first homes under $800,000
You can even rent out a room in your new home to help with mortgage repayments


Why It’s a Game-Changer

The Crisafulli Government is on a mission to lift Queensland’s home ownership rate to the highest in the nation — and these reforms are central to making that happen. With thousands of dollars in potential savings, more first home buyers are finally finding their way into the market.

Premier David Crisafulli says it best:

“We’re unlocking the door to home ownership for thousands more Queenslanders who’ve been locked out for too long.”

At Gemini Homes, we’ve helped hundreds of first home buyers make their dream a reality — and we’re ready to do the same for you.
