Buying your first home can be a daunting experience. Many First Home Buyers want to build their first home – but don’t know where to start. Metricon, Victoria’s leading home builder, are hosting free First Home Buyer Seminars to answer any questions you may have about this process and also help customers take advantage of the First Home Buyers Grant.

Metricon’s Area Manager of Ballarat – Simon Lofts – suggests the seminars offer First Home Buyers a relaxed and informal way of receiving valuable information to help you get started.

“Metricon work closely with Melbourne’s leading land developers and have regular guest speakers offering advice on land. We also have our Finance experts offering insights to types of finance packages available to this market and budgeting tips to help save deposits faster. Our first seminar is being held on Wednesday 23rd March at our Baxter Street display,” offered Simon.

Affordability is an issue facing all potential home buyers but Metricon has solutions.

“Metricon offers customers fixed priced house and land packages including floor coverings and concrete driveway starting at $221000 in Ballarat. This takes the pressure off individuals on tight budgets needing to factor in unforeseen expenses such as site costs, for peace of mind, they’re included!

Land size is also a factor affecting affordability and our design team is at the forefront of delivering smarter design solutions for smaller allotments. The cocktail of soaring house prices combined with demand pressures has sparked builder’s to come up with more innovative offerings. We have responded with designs that are suitable for narrow allotments, depending on your needs, we can provide you with a home that will compliment your land. All of these homes boast beautiful open plans and modern finishes, available with a number of facades and suit a range of block sizes from 11.5 metres,” suggested Simon.

The First Home Buyers Seminar is not the only support Metricon are offering First Home Buyers. Also Metricon are currently topping up the First Home Buyers Grant to an impressive $42,000.

“Our objective is to make home ownership more accessible for thousands of new first home buyers, many of whom have been shut out of the market this year by rising interest rates. A $42,000 kick start is a fantastic opportunity for first home buyers to enter the market and build their dream home”, Simon concluded.
