Price split
Two contracts: one for the land and one for the build. Stamp duty is charged on the land contract only.
First home buyers: at $737,020 the package is under the $750,000 cap for the $10,000 First Home Owner Grant, and the land is under $600,000, so eligible first home buyers pay no stamp duty on it. Check your eligibility with the State Revenue Office or your broker.
Land: listed at $389,000 with a $10,000 discount, bringing it to $379,000. Your conveyancer should confirm how the discount is applied in the land contract.
Site cost of $4,100 for this lot, including BAL 12.5 construction, is already in the house price, as are the building permit and CIL payment.
Rent estimate: around $540 a week for a new 4-bedroom home in Armstrong Creek. Get a written rental appraisal before you decide.
