Housing Industry Association spokesman Stuart Clues says the contrast between people seeking finance for a second or third home and those trying to get into their first home is very stark.
Mr Clues has called on the Tasmanian Government to contribute an extra $3,000 to the Commonwealth first home owners grant.
"We've been maintaining this policy now for a number of years in relation to our budget submissions and we'd be asking the State Government to assist first home owners into the market by making a contribution to the Commonwealth first home owners grant over and above what is provided by the Federal Government," he said. - SOURCE: © 2007 Australian Broadcasting Corporation
