More homes will be exclusive to you for longer

HomeSeeker SA properties are available to eligible people for an exclusive period, so you don't have to compete against investors before these homes become available on the open market. We now require all new developments to commit to making properties exclusive to you for at least 60 days - twice as long as older arrangements - giving you more time to make your decision and get your finance sorted.
