Helping First-Home Buyers Get Ahead: Get $500 a week while you build with Simonds Homes*
Owning your first home just got easier and more exciting.
Buying your first home is a major life milestone, and Simonds Homes has introduced a game-changing new offer to help first-home buyers stay financially comfortable while their dream home is being built.
For a limited time, eligible customers in Victoria, Southeast Queensland and South Australia can receive $500 a week for 16 weeks when they choose to build a home from Simonds Emerge range.
This extra support gives first-time builders breathing room to manage rent, bills, furnishings, or other essentials, so you can focus on the excitement of moving into your new home rather than the stress of daily expenses.
How Simonds’ game-changing offer works
Once you’ve selected your Emerge home, paid your deposit and signed your contract, Simonds takes care of the build process. When construction moves on site and reaches base stage, the weekly $500 payments begin for 16 weeks while your new home is being constructed. These payments can be used however you choose, from covering living expenses to furnishing and landscaping.
It’s real cash in your bank account when you need it most, offsetting rent and bills to make your journey to new home ownership smoother.
