First-home buyers to the rescue in Qld
11:10 AEST Sat Jan 10 2009
Crisis, what crisis?

The world economy may be giving our political leaders sleepless nights, but it hasn't dimmed the optimism of first-home buyers in Queensland.

In December 3,356 first-home owner grant applications were made, with 2,859 grants paid in the month.

This doubled August figures, when only 1,662 applications were made with 1,603 grants paid.

Treasurer Andrew Fraser says stimulus packages introduced by the state and federal governments account for the increase.

He said the abolition of stamp duty for first-home owners up to $500,000 and abolishing mortgage duty were the state's contribution after the property market was hard-hit by the deepening world crisis.

"The state and federal government acted quickly and decisively, and the stimulus is starting to take effect," Mr Fraser said.

"These numbers indicate gathering momentum in the first home owner segment of the market.

"There remains room for a further round of interest rate cuts when the Reserve Bank board meets next in February."

Mr Fraser said the state's incentives, along with the federal government's boost to the first-home buyer grant and the Reserve Bank's decision to cut 300 basis points off the official cash rate since September had prompted the huge spike in applications.

"It's an encouraging outcome considering the economic climate and the usual slowdown over the Christmas period," Mr Fraser said.

"No one is suggesting we're out of the woods yet, but this is definitely an indication that the stimulus measures put in place by the state and federal governments are working as intended."

November saw almost 5,500 households receive grants.





据2009年1月10日澳广报道，最新一份调查报告显示，全澳申请首次购房补贴人数大幅增加。

去年10月，联邦政府将首次购房补贴提高，购买二手房首置补贴翻倍至$14,000元，购买新建住房首置补贴翻三倍至$21,000元。新政策推出后的去年11月份，获得这笔首次购房补贴的就达到5,500户家庭。

联邦住房部长Tanya Plibersek表示，在当前困难的经济时期，政府清楚知道提高首次购房补贴是很重要的，因为可以帮助那些个人、年轻家庭和夫妇下决心进入房产市场。

她说，“住房和建筑业是澳洲经济中非常重要的一部分。”








Figures indicate first home owner grant boost


Updated Sat Jan 10, 2009 7:38pm AEDT  ABC News

New figures show large numbers of people are applying for the First Home Owner Grant.

Last year the grant was doubled to $14,000 for those buying established homes, and tripled to $21,000 for people buying newly-built homes.

Housing Minister Tanya Plibersek says almost 5,500 households received the grant in November.

"One of the reasons that the Federal Government introduced this first home owners boost was because we knew that in difficult economic times it was important to help individuals, young families, couples to make the decision to move into the housing market," she said.

Ms Plibersek says it is an encouraging result during difficult economic times.

"The building and construction sector is a very important part of the economy," she said.

"To make sure that we retain activity and confidence in that building and construction sector, it was important increase assistance to first home owners so that they would bring forward their decision to enter the housing market."
