Purchasing your own Home
MRAC actively supports Aboriginal families seeking to purchase their own homes.
Notice To MRAC Members & Tenants - Property Sales & Home Ownership Opportunity
MRAC annual undertakes a property sales process as part of a planned Housing Renewal Program.
Proceeds from selected vacant property sales will be reinvested into new, modern and culturally appropriate housing to meet future community needs.
No tenants are being required to leave their homes.
Current tenants may apply to purchase the property they rent.
Thinking about purchasing your home? Start here
Talk to the MRAC Housing Manager and what the process involves.
Get independent financial advice, and talk to a lender or a home ownership program about what you could borrow.
Budget for the costs beyond the purchase price — rates, insurance, water, and all maintenance and repairs, which become your responsibility as owner.
Take your time. There is no deadline, and the process stays open.
Please note: MRAC can explain the process and what is available, but we are not licensed financial advisers. Please seek your own independent advice before making a decision about buying a home.
