Start Your Homeownership Journey at Carlisle’s First Home Buyer Festival!

Thinking about buying your first home? Carlisle Homes is making it easier than ever with their First Home Buyer Festival, an exclusive, in-person event designed to help first-time buyers navigate their way to homeownership.

Mark your calendars for 1st April 2025 and head over to the Carlisle Homes Spectra Showroom from 5.30 pm for an evening filled with expert advice, insider tips, food, drinks, and exciting prizes.

Whether you’re exploring the first home-focused EasyLiving Series or simply after value-packed home designs, this event could turn your dream of homeownership into a reality.

Why you should be there

Buying your first home is a huge milestone, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. At Carlisle’s First Home Buyer Festival, you’ll get all the right tools, tips, and expert advice to help you take that exciting first step.

You’ll hear from leading experts like Queenie Tan of @Investwithqueenie, a licensed financial creator and first-home-buyer advocate. Known for her relatable advice and clever money strategies, Queenie will cover everything from the importance of homeownership to smart tips for first-time buyers, government grants and schemes that could give you a boost, and savvy ways to save for your dream home.

Explore your pathway to homeownership

Carlisle’s own Mark Richardson, General Manager – Sales, will take you through the different pathways to secure your first home—whether purchasing land, a completed home, or a house and land package. Mark will also break down Carlisle’s simplified 6-Step Journey that takes you from dreaming to moving in, with everything laid out to make the process as easy as possible.

Style it your way, on any budget

Of course, it’s not just about buying a home—it’s about making it yours. That’s where Carlisle’s design experts step in. Jess Hodges, Interior Design Manager, will be on hand to take you through the EasyLiving Series’ stunning floorplans and colour schemes while offering budget-friendly tips on styling your home.

From choosing cost-effective finishes to creating spaces that reflect your personality, Jess will show you how to make smart, savvy, and stylish decisions without stretching your budget.

Get creative with a DIY flatlay

If you’re feeling inspired, you’ll have the chance to get hands-on with an interactive flatlay session where you can create your very own home styling board.

Pick samples, experiment with colours and textures, and capture the whole experience with a personalised Polaroid photo to take home for future inspo.

Prizes, freebies and a whole night of fun

A night out wouldn’t be complete without some incredible prizes! Everyone who creates a DIY styling flatlay goes into the draw, with three random winners walking away with special prizes.

Plus, when you arrive, you’ll pick out a key, but only one lucky guest will unlock the major prize, a brand-new Rinnai BBQ.
