For many buyers, a house and land package can be a great way to get into the property market, securing a new, energy-efficient home with your own backyard. But affordable options can feel tricky to find in Australia’s most expensive city.
A house and land package – when a buyer simultaneously secures a block of land through a developer and home through a builder – combines value with modern conveniences like amenities, transport and infrastructure, making them a popular option for families and downsizers.
Despite tough conditions, buyer confidence is returning. PropTrack data revealed new home loan commitments for both investors and first-home buyers have surged by 30% and 2% respectively compared to the same period last year.
“Affordability is a prime concern for both investors and first-home buyers,” REA Group Senior Data Analyst Karen Dellow said.
“Those seeking houses are willing to look farther from the city where land is cheaper.”
