FIRST SERIES
HOME DESIGNS

The price of building a new home varies significantly depending on a range of factors such as the finishes and size of your home. As our most cost-effective solution, our First Series homes typically range from $1,200 to $1,500 per square metre, excluding the land itself. Our most affordable home is our brand new design – the Cali.

AUSMAR requires 5% of your total contract price to be paid before construction commences. This is paid in three instalments: The first deposit is $2,500 at Provisional Sales Estimate Stage, the second deposit is $1,500 at New Home Proposal Stage, and the third deposit is the remainder of the 5% to be paid at Contract Agreement Stage.

You’ll be required to make five key progress payments throughout the construction of your new home. These typically include slab pour (base), frame, lock-up (enclosed), fixing and practical completion. The final payment will be due on completion of the build and before you receive the keys to your new home. Exact timings and amounts will be provided to you at contract stage.

The timeline of building your new home can vary depending on factors such as the specific design, size, weather and location. However, we’ve seen a return to more consistency since the challenges experienced across the industry in recent years. For our First Series homes, we generally expect a build time of between three and six months and will provide you with a detailed schedule during the contract stage.

At AUSMAR, we understand the unique challenges faced by first home buyers in today’s market. We’ve created the First Series with the intention of alleviating some of this stress, particularly around the increasing cost of getting your foot on the property ladder. To offer first home buyers a more affordable option, we’ve automatically applied a 5% discount to the base price of all First Series homes. This provides first home buyers with a savings of up to $24,000. Our First Series standard inclusions are the most cost-effective yet high-quality options available.

Living on the Sunshine Coast is any homeowner’s dream! We are big advocates for first home buyers to build in affordable new communities such as Aura at Caloundra West and Harmony at Palmview. With extensive amenities and just 15 minutes from beautiful beaches, we’re confident these properties will continue to increase in value. The vacant land within these estates is some of the most affordable we have seen across the Sunshine Coast. Combined with a First Series home, you’re well-positioned to get into your new home for under $750,000.

With more than 30 years of experience building homes on the Sunshine Coast, we have developed a trusted network of financial and legal advisors that we happily recommend to our clients.

While both options have their merits, building a new home offers several distinct advantages including customisation options, energy efficiency, builders’ warranty, peace of mind, no hidden surprises that come with older homes and the ability to choose the best layout, location and features that suit your current and future needs.

Absolutely! While our homes are designed to be accessible and affordable, we never compromise on quality. Our commitment to excellence extends to every aspect of the build, from the materials used to the craftsmanship of our tradespeople.
