Local expertise for Tasmania's unique property market
Hobart's property market punches well above its weight. As Australia's smallest capital city, limited housing supply and strong lifestyle appeal create a dynamic market where preparation is everything. Whether you're a first home buyer accessing Tasmania's generous $30,000 grant, an investor drawn by Hobart's tight rental market, or a mainlander making the lifestyle move to Australia's most beautiful city, our brokers understand the nuances of buying in Tasmania.
We offer a full range of lending solutions for Hobart residents and businesses
Access the TAS First Home Owner Grant and MyHome shared equity scheme to secure your first property in Hobart's tight market.
Upgrade to Hobart's sought-after suburbs like Battery Point, Sandy Bay, or family-friendly Kingston and Howrah.
With Hobart values rising significantly over the past decade, refinancing can unlock equity and secure a better rate.
Hobart's low vacancy rates and strong tourism market create compelling investment opportunities across greater Hobart.
Personal loan solutions for Tasmanians, from home renovations to managing the costs of island living.
Commercial finance for Tasmania's growing tourism, agriculture, and creative industries sectors.
Finance equipment for Tasmania's farming, forestry, aquaculture, and tourism operations.
Competitive car loans for Hobartians — a car is essential in Tasmania with limited public transport outside the CBD.
Hobart experienced extraordinary price growth from 2016 to 2022, transforming from Australia's most affordable capital to a competitive market. While growth has moderated, Hobart still offers better value than mainland capitals and continues to attract lifestyle migrants from Sydney and Melbourne.
Tasmania offers a $30,000 First Home Owner Grant for new homes or substantially renovated properties. The MyHome shared equity scheme allows eligible buyers to purchase with the Tasmanian Government contributing up to 30% of the property price as a shared equity partner.
Hobart's property market is much smaller than mainland capitals, meaning stock levels can be very low. This creates a competitive environment where properties sell quickly and often above asking price. Having pre-approved finance is critical to securing a home in this market.
Hobart attracts buyers seeking lifestyle — proximity to kunanyi/Mount Wellington, the Derwent River, world-class food and wine, and MONA. Suburbs like South Hobart, Taroona, and West Hobart combine natural beauty with convenient access to the city centre.
Tasmania's tourism boom has driven demand for short-stay accommodation, tightening the long-term rental market. Suburbs popular with tourists — Salamanca, Battery Point, and Sandy Bay — command premium rents, creating opportunities for investors who understand the regulatory landscape.
Beyond central Hobart, suburbs like Brighton, Sorell, and the Huon Valley offer more affordable options with growing infrastructure. The northern corridor toward Bridgewater and Gagebrook is also seeing development, while Launceston provides an alternative city market with lower entry prices.
