Cost of housing in Australia remains a significant concern, with low to moderate-income earners facing increasing barriers to entry. Reports highlight the widening gap between housing supply and demand, driven by record levels of migration and high construction costs since the pandemic.
These challenges have particularly impacted first-home buyers and those seeking more attainable housing options.
This blog provides a helpful guide for first-home buyers, showcasing a range of Cedar Woods properties across major capital cities. By highlighting various entry-level price points, we aim to offer insight into how first-home buyers can navigate the cost of new housing in today’s challenging market.
Take a look at some examples below.
In Western Australia, Cedar Woods has teamed up with one of WA’s top builders, Homebuyers Centre, to create a new home product that is specifically designed to make homeownership more attainable for first-time buyers.
