(FHLDS) in their policy platforms:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Labor has proposed a First Home Buyer Support Scheme, which will review price caps on a six-monthly basis, and extend 10,000 government guarantees to regional Australian applicants.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Coalition would also reserve 10,000 home loan guarantees for regional Australians, but would expand eligibility in the regions to non-first homebuyers, and limit purchases to new homes.<\/p>\n<p>The Coalition would also increase the current 10,000 regular FHLDS places to 35,000 per year.<\/p>\n<p>The family home guarantee would also be increased to 5,000 places per year, creating a total of 50,000 new low-deposit guarantees in 2022 alone.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"how-does-the-scheme-work\">How does the scheme work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In its current form, the FHLDS allows eligible borrowers to take out a mortgage with a deposit as small as 5%, without paying lenders\u2019 mortgage insurance.<\/p>\n<p>This is done by the government by guaranteeing up to 15% of the loan.<\/p>\n<p>Applications are limited to singles with an income of up to $125,000, or couples with $200,000.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhfic.gov.au\/what-we-do\/property-price-caps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Purchases<\/a> under the scheme are limited to between $350,000 in some regions, to up to $950,000 in Sydney for new homes.<\/p>\n<p>But whether the scheme is \u2018good\u2019 or \u2018bad\u2019 is a really complex question.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the pros and cons of the scheme are outlined below.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"pro-it-roughly-quarters-the-time-it-would-take-to-save-a-deposit\">Pro: It (roughly) quarters the time it would take to save a deposit<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a

Australia at the end of February ($728,034), CoreLogic estimates it would take around 2.3 years for the median household to save a 5% deposit on a home (Figure 1.0).<\/p>\n<p>A 20% deposit, which is the level allowing borrowers to avoid lenders\u2019 mortgage insurance (LMI), would take around 8.8 years.<\/p>\n<p>This could cut 6.5 years in the rental market, which at current weekly rent values on the median dwelling in Australia, equates to almost $160,000.<\/p>\n<p>The savings on LMI could be upwards of $30,000 on the median Australian dwelling value with a 5% deposit.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"con-interest-costs-would-be-higher\">Con: Interest costs would be higher<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Understanding the concept of interest is crucial for doing a thorough cost-benefit analysis of the scheme.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-131273 img-responsive\"

sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"\/>Taking the median dwelling value and the current average mortgage rate for principal and interest owner-occupier borrowers (2.44%), the difference in interest costs between a 5% deposit and a 20% deposit is about $37,000 over the life of the loan (Figure 2).<\/p>\n<p>With the cash rate likely to rise sometime in the next 12 months, this will exacerbate interest between those on a 5% and 20% deposit loan.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding interest is extremely important when taking on large mortgages, especially when targeting these schemes to younger Australians and women, <a href=\"https:\/\/api.research-repository.uwa.edu.au\/ws\/portalfiles\/portal\/73668586\/Financial_Literacy_in_Australia.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">where rates of financial literacy among these groups tend to be lower<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While the interest costs on a 5% deposit home loan may be larger, it is important to weigh them against the cost of not being in the market.<\/p>\n<p>These costs include any increase (or decrease) in purchase prices and the cost of renting.<\/p>\n<p><a

2016.<\/p>\n<p>But as noted in Grattan\u2019s research, <a

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lower rates of homeownership are associated with lower income<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This means addressing low rates of homeownership should target lower-income households.<\/p>\n<p>The income thresholds for the FHLDS are relatively high.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <a

Wealth data<\/a> showed that in 2017-18, a gross household income of $200,000 per year placed households in the top 20% of incomes, and that median household incomes were closer to $88,000.<\/p>\n<p>Couples earning up to $200,000 can qualify for the FHLDS, though figures would suggest their risk of missing out on homeownership without it is lower.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhfic.gov.au\/media\/1473\/20200826-nhfic-fhlds-research-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NHFIC<\/a> however, the highest concentrations of guarantees have been below the income thresholds through 2019-20, at $60- $80,000 for singles and $100-$125,000 for couples.<\/p>\n<p>The purchase price caps may also have a self-selecting effect, with those on higher
