First home buyers who want to take advantage of the full first home buyers grant boost, have just a few days to so before the boost is phased down on October 1 next week.
First home buyers pushed new house sales to their highest levels in August since January 2008.
The results were even stronger in Victoria where the state government has added to the federal grants with $11,000 grants for first home buyers as well.
First home buyers who sign a contract of sale before the end of September can collect $14,000 to buy an existing home and $21,000 for newly built homes.
From October 1, these amounts will be phased down to $10,500 for existing homes and $14,000 for new homes until the end 2009.
