That’s why conversations around first home ownership are evolving.
Rather than focusing only on the end goal alone, more families are looking at the journey itself, particularly the period between signing a contract and moving in. This “in-between” phase can be one of the most challenging, with ongoing rent and everyday expenses continuing while a new home is being built.
That’s where initiatives like Simonds Homes new offer come in: Get $500 a week while we build.*
Rather than focusing solely on move-in day, Simonds’ recognises that the period between signing and building is where many buyers feel stretched the most. By offering eligible customers $500 a week while their home is being built, it provides breathing room - whether that means helping cover rent, bills, or simply day-to-day living costs.
It’s a practical shift in thinking: supporting buyers while they wait, not just once the keys are handed over.
For local buyers in Shepparton and the wider Goulburn Valley, this kind of support can make a meaningful difference. It can help people move forward with confidence, instead of feeling stuck in a cycle of renting and waiting for “the right time.”
Buying your first home will always be a big step. But with the right guidance, local expertise and support that reflects real-world pressures, it doesn’t have to feel out of reach.
If you’re thinking about making your move into home ownership, now might be the right time to rethink what support looks like and take the first step with confidence.
