Building a brand new home should be one of the most exciting milestones of your life, not a maze of paperwork and uncertain costs. If you love the idea of moving into a freshly built home, but don’t have the time (or the appetite) to coordinate a fully bespoke build from scratch, a house and land package is the answer. 

The 2026-27 Federal Budget limits negative gearing to new builds from 1 July 2027 and replaces the 50% CGT discount with cost base indexation. For NSW home buyers, this makes building a new home - whether a house and land package or a knockdown rebuild - the most tax-advantaged residential property investment in Australia. Here is what the changes mean for Clarendon Homes customers.

Walk into the upstairs of a brand-new home and stomp your foot. You'll hear it before you feel it, that faint, hollow thud that tells you the floor isn't quite as solid as it looks.

It's not a defect. It's not a sign of poor workmanship. It's just how almost every two-storey home in Australia is built. And once you know why, you'll never quite hear an upper floor the same way again.

Luxe Crete is a 45mm factory-engineered concrete panel system by Clarendon Homes that replaces standard 22mm particle board on double storey upper floors. It delivers 180% more strength, 40% better sound insulation, 120-minute fire resistance, and contains zero crystalline silica. Available as a premium structural upgrade across many Clarendon home designs in NSW.

Have you ever walked through one of our display homes and thought, “I want exactly this”? That feeling, where everything just clicks, where the finishes feel considered and the spaces feel effortless, is what we’ve spent almost 48 years trying to bottle. And with The Display Edit Promotion, we’ve done exactly that.

The Display Edit is Clarendon Homes' biggest promotion of 2026, available in two editions. The Aspire Edition includes $30,000 off plus 26 premium inclusions. The Luxe Edition features 50+ premium upgrades with your choice of Miele or Smeg appliances. Both editions are backed by Clarendon's Lifetime Structural Guarantee.

Introducing Clarendon Homes’ new Pricing Tool, a game changer for customers wanting a clear, detailed estimate of costs upfront – before even setting foot in a Display Centre or sales office.

In south-west Sydney’s HomeWorld Oran Park, Clarendon Homes has just opened the Waterford 30 display home, our newest design. Looking for a home that stands out while remaining timeless and elegant? The Waterford 30, featuring the Dakota facade, is contemporary and architectural, with a clean, simple palette and neutral tones that highlight the home’s striking structural details. 

At Clarendon Homes, we’re excited to see more opportunities opening up for first home buyers. The Australian Government has announced that the First Home Buyer Guarantee Scheme will now begin on 1 October 2025 – three months earlier than expected.

When Mitch and Sharna purchased a block of land in Sydney on Mitch’s 30th birthday, it felt like fate. After six years of living with Sharna’s parents and dreaming of a place to call their own, that special date in 2021 marked the beginning of their home-building journey. Now that the insulation is in and the Gyprock has been installed, they’re counting down to the day they move in and start the next chapter of their lives.

At Clarendon Homes, we’re proud to have a passionate and dedicated team that works to bring every customer’s dream home to life. Kicking off our new Employee Spotlight series is Steve Stasiuk, NSW Building Manager.
