Home & Land Packages in Springfield, Ipswich & Brisbane West
Home & Land Packages in Springfield, Flagstone & Brisbane West
Building a brand new home can be the smartest financial move you ever make — if you get the package right. At EquityMaxx Realty, we specialise in turnkey home and land packages across Springfield, Spring Mountain, Augustine Heights, Greater Flagstone, and the broader Brisbane western growth corridor.
We work with established, REIQ-connected Queensland builders and developers to offer packages that include the land, the build, fixed-price construction, landscaping, fencing, driveways, and window coverings — everything you need to walk in the door on handover day.
Why Buy a Home & Land Package
Stamp Duty Savings
In Queensland, stamp duty on a home and land package is calculated on the vacant land value only — not the completed home value. For a typical $600,000-$700,000 package, this saves buyers $15,000 to $25,000 in stamp duty compared to buying a completed home.
First Home Owner Grant & Concessions
First-home buyers building new in Queensland are eligible for the First Home Owners' Grant (currently $30,000 at the time of writing — always confirm current rates with the QLD Office of State Revenue), plus first-home stamp duty concessions that can reduce stamp duty to nil on qualifying packages. These benefits stack only on new builds.
Brand New, Under Warranty
A new home comes with structural warranty (6-7 years in Queensland), appliance warranties, and no costly renovation surprises. You get modern layouts, energy-efficient inclusions, and the latest build standards — without the hidden issues of an older home.
Locked-In Fixed Price
Every package we offer is fixed-price with no 'provisional sums' hiding future cost blowouts. The price on day one is the price on handover day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do home and land packages work in Queensland?
A home and land package is a bundled purchase where the buyer signs two contracts: one for the vacant land (with the developer) and one for the home construction (with the builder). In Queensland, stamp duty is only payable on the land contract, which creates significant savings compared to buying a completed home. The two contracts are timed so land settles first, then construction begins.
How long does it take to build a new home in Springfield?
From land settlement to handover, a standard single-storey home in Springfield or Spring Mountain typically takes 6-10 months, subject to weather, trades availability, and council approval timelines. Two-storey homes and larger custom designs can take 10-14 months.
Am I eligible for the First Home Owners' Grant?
In Queensland, the First Home Owners’ Grant is currently $30,000 (at time of writing — confirm current rates at qro.qld.gov.au) for eligible first-home buyers building or buying a brand new home under $750,000. You must live in the home for at least 6 continuous months starting within 12 months of completion. We recommend confirming eligibility with your mortgage broker or the QLD Office of State Revenue before signing contracts.
Do I need a construction loan for a home and land package?
Yes — most home and land purchases are funded with a construction loan, which releases funds in stages (land settlement, slab, frame, lockup, fixing, completion) as the build progresses. Your lender or broker will structure this; we work with brokers who specialise in construction and first-home buyer lending.
Can I customise the home design?
Most builders offer design variations within their package range — layout choices, façade options, colour schemes, and upgrade inclusions (stone benchtops, larger tiles, premium appliances). Fully custom designs are also available but typically cost more and take longer to build.
What happens if the builder goes into liquidation?
Queensland builders must hold a QBCC licence and contribute to the Queensland Home Warranty Scheme. The scheme provides cover for non-completion, defective work, and subsidence — up to prescribed limits. We only partner with builders who hold current QBCC licences, carry appropriate insurances, and have a track record of delivering in our corridor.
