In this final episode for 2025, Jack Elliott and Chris Bates reflect on the biggest lessons and insights from working with first home buyers over the past year.

We talk through what changed in the first home buyer landscape in 2025, including the expansion of the First Home Guarantee (now the 5% Deposit Scheme), and what those changes meant in real life for buyers navigating their first purchase. We also share the common questions buyers asked this year and the decisions that made the biggest difference.

Most importantly, this episode is about helping you carry the right lessons into 2026.
