The $5k* deposit pathway for first home buyers
For many first home buyers, saving a hefty 20% deposit feels like the biggest hurdle to home ownership. Homebuyers Centre’s $5K* deposit pathway will help make this the year it finally happens.
Exclusively through Resolve Finance and participating land estates.
Why this low deposit option could work for you
You could get started with a low deposit — no need to wait for 20%.
Eligible buyers can avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance, helping keep upfront costs down.
The $5K* deposit pathway could help tip the balance in your favour.
Low deposit options mean you may be closer to home ownership than you think.
What is the low deposit home loan option?
Homebuyers Centre offers a $5K deposit solution to eliminate that barrier for potential buyers.
In partnership with Resolve Finance, this pathway allows eligible first-home buyers to secure a selected house and land package with just $5,000* upfront, instead of a traditional 20% deposit. It brings your build, land and finance together in a genuine one-stop shop, helping simplify what can otherwise feel overwhelming.
On average, how long does it take to save 20% deposit?
Between rising living costs, rent, and everything else life throws your way, saving a traditional 20% deposit can feel overwhelming. For many first home buyers, it’s not about discipline — it’s about how much further the goalpost has moved.
Based on an average income and typical savings habits, it can take well over a decade to reach a full deposit. That’s a long time to be saving, especially while property prices continue to change.
That’s why we’re here to help you look at it differently. Because getting into your own home sooner might be more achievable than you think.
