Happy bidding folks!

If you’re a first home buyer, are you aware of the South Australian Government’s “Affordable Homes” program? It is an initiative by our government to provide low cost housing to low income first home buyers in South Australia.

The government regularly releases properties for sale to be purchased under the program – usually old properties that have been used as public housing by the South Australian Housing Trust, but also new homes in areas where the government is overseeing urban renewal projects.

Eligibility requirements to purchase these properties are listed on the Affordable Homes website, and include being a South Australian resident over the age of 18, who does not own other property, is going to live in the property, and has an annual income less than a defined amount between $66,000 and $76,000 depending on family status. If you fit the requirements, then below are a selection of properties currently available in the Little Para river area.

Note that the properties are only available to eligible buyers for a set period of time – if they’re not sold in that period, then they are available for anyone to purchase at the discount price.

  • 53 Codd St, Para Hills West – A 2 bedroom attached home on almost 400 square metres of land with an updated kitchen and bathroom. $190,000
  • 3/47 Amsterdam Cres, Salisbury Downs – A 1986 built single level, 2 bedroom unit with private yards for just $165,000. Now out of the eligible buyer period so anyone can purchase.
  • 37 Kelsey Road, Salisbury North - A great alternative to a flat or unit if you want a decent size rear yard, this 3 bedroom semi-detached maisonette home has been freshly painted and is on an almost 500 square meter block. Priced at $190,000.
  • Lot 91 International Ave, Salisbury North (Hawksbury Park Estate) – If you’re looking to build your own home, this 276 square meter block is priced at $99,950 with a house package available from $201,000.
  • Apartment 101, Pulse Apartments, Mawson Lakes – Buy this 2 bedroom apartment with all the modern conveniences in Mawson Lakes, just a few minutes walk from the rail interchange for $279,500
  • 5/14 Hammond Ct, Golden Grove – This 2 story, 2 bedroom townhouse is situated in a quiet and convenient part of Golden Grove, and is priced at $240,000.

This Saturday, there are three properties going under the hammer in Adelaide’s northern suburbs.

First at 10:00am, LJ Hooker Craigmore presents 127 Davoren Road, Andrews Farm. This property has been burnt out so would be suitable for restoration or possible redevelopment. The remains of the current home feature three bedrooms, a garage and carport, and close proximity to the Columbia Private School. Anticipated price range is around $180,000.

Two more auctions will be happening a little up the hill. At 11:30am, 7/21 Hillrise Court in Wynn Vale will be auctioned. This lovely townhouse is in a secluded group and is just minutes from Golden Grove. A great opportunity for the first home buyer to get into the market in a sought after area.

Finally at 12:30pm, LJ Hooker Golden Grove will be auctioning 38 Elmwood Rise, Golden Grove. This one is a spacious family home, in a popular family-friendly area. There is plenty of room to move and the presentation is outstanding. This will be one to watch.

Oh, if you need a pre-approval before bidding at auction or making an offer, you can arrange one online with MyRate – they do a great basic home loan at just 6.34%.
