Customer stories: Kayte’s coastal Onyx 22
For Homebuyers Centre customer Kayte, owning her own home had been a dream since she was just a little girl. But in a highly-competitive Victorian property market, it was a dream completely out of reach – until she found Homebuyers Centre in 2022.
‘I think most people very much want to have something that’s just theirs,’ says Kayte.
‘I did consider buying established, but I was very much priced out of that market in the area that I live in. Building a new home with Homebuyers Centre was a fantastic option for me.’
Kayte fell in love with Homebuyers Centre’s double storey Onyx 22 floorplan, featuring four bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and a double garage. A compact design which fits on just a 10.5m wide block, Kayte was drawn to the home’s clever zoning, including a retreat to the upper level and spacious open plan living areas to the ground floor. Guided by Alisa & Lysandra’s pre-determined colour schemes, she was able to create a relaxing coastal-inspired home featuring off-whites and timber accents.
‘My favourite part of the house is the living, dining and kitchen. It’s nice and bright and wide,’ says Kayte.
‘I love having friends and family over to the house. I’m really proud to show off what I’ve achieved.’

As a first-time home builder, feeling supported by Homebuyers Centre was as important as finding a quality and affordable home. Luckily for Kayte, Homebuyers Centre delivered in all three areas. Upfront and transparent build costs meant she knew exactly what she was going to pay from the beginning. Plus, Homebuyers Centre in-house home finance team, Resolve Finance, were able to support her to get the loan she needed.
‘The process around building a new home with Homebuyers Centre was amazing. Just the flexibility and the almost instant answer around what it was going to cost made it really simple,’ says Kayte.
‘I didn’t have to overthink about what I wasn’t getting because it’s really upfront with what you are getting.’
For Kayte, building a new home was a fun and exciting experience. Pick the right builder, she says, and you’ll end up with a new home, designed to fit your lifestyle and aesthetic. And all within your budget and without any of the stress.
‘Building your own home is a lot of fun. Construction was the best – it was just so exciting to see the house unfold in front of your eyes. It’s an amazing journey,’ says Kayte.
‘I’d absolutely recommend Homebuyers Centre to anybody who was considering building a home. Not only is the product well thought-out and well designed, but the quality is phenomenal. It has made me very proud.’
