Affordable, Smart, and Growing: Caboolture West for First Home Buyers

Caboolture West is quickly becoming South East Queensland’s most attractive market for first home buyers chasing value and government incentives.

AUSMAR's First Series Collection aids First Home Buyers into Local Property Market

If you're a first home buyer trying to get your foot in the door of the property market, you're not alone - and you're certainly not out of options. In 2025, Caboolture West has become one of the most affordable and strategic entry points into home ownership in South East Queensland.

Demand is soaring, with a large pool of buyers competing for limited land releases - especially those looking to maximise current government incentives. Properties that might normally sit around $600,000 are being sold closer to $750,000 as buyers rush to secure a place in this growing region.

Why here, and why now? The answer lies in value, eligibility for grants, and long-term upside. Caboolture West offers house and land packages starting from around $700,000, just under the $750,000 cap for government incentives. AUSMAR’s First Series Collection is purpose-built to keep new builds within grant eligibility—without compromising on quality or design.

Buyers are prioritising functional layouts that make the most of compact blocks. Floorplans with open-plan living, a small study nook or media room, and a smart use of space are outperforming others. Even on smaller blocks (as little as 280–350sqm), AUSMAR homes can accommodate four bedrooms, an activity room, and even two living zones - a huge drawcard for couples thinking ahead to family life.

AUSMAR has a strong presence in the area and is currently working alongside major developers to deliver two display homes in the newly established Stockland communities - Kinma Valley and Rivermont. While these display homes are still in the planning phase, AUSMAR already has clients who have secured land and are actively progressing through the home design and build stages.

Keep an eye out for additional land releases across other key developers participating in Caboolture West, now officially named Waraba. This large-scale masterplanned region is expected to accommodate over 70,000 residents across 30,000 homes over the next 40 years. Developers like AVID Property Group, Baycrown, Lennium (behind Lilywood Landings), Orchard, and Stockland are delivering new residential precincts with a variety of lot sizes and housing options.

With new infrastructure coming and the first display villages opening in 2025, first home buyers can enter the market now and benefit from future capital growth. Caboolture West - or Waraba - is the future of affordable, well-planned living.
