Cotality Home Value Index
Median is under the cap
Under the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme, eligible first home buyers can buy with a 5% deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance, as long as the price is within the cap for the postcode. For most of Albury that cap is $800,000.
At the median value of $673,957, a 5% deposit is about $33,698, before stamp duty, legal and other upfront costs.
Under the NSW First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme, eligible first home buyers pay no transfer (stamp) duty on a new or existing home valued up to $800,000, and a reduced rate between $800,000 and $1 million. The First Home Owner (New Homes) Grant may also apply if you buy or build a brand-new home within the value limits.
Buying on the Victorian side in Wodonga? Victorian stamp duty rules and a $650,000 scheme cap apply there instead — we can walk you through both.

Most of Albury falls under the NSW "other areas" cap (outside Sydney and the designated regional centres), which is $800,000. The median Albury dwelling value ($673,957) sits under that cap, so a typical home can qualify. Always confirm the cap for your exact postcode with Housing Australia's postcode tool.
Under the NSW First Home Buyers Assistance Scheme, eligible first home buyers pay no transfer (stamp) duty on a new or existing home valued up to $800,000, and a reduced rate between $800,000 and $1 million. Eligibility rules apply, including living in the home.
Usually not for standard homes in Albury's main suburbs. Rural-residential, acreage and very small-town properties can face lower maximum LVRs or tighter valuation rules, which is why we check policy before you make an offer.
In most cases there is no fee to you — we are paid commission by the lender after your loan settles. If a fee ever applies, we set it out in writing before we submit your application. Full details are in our Credit Guide.
Send us a few details and we'll call you back, usually the same business day.
