Hi Jordan,
Welcome to the forums.
To qualify for a 95% home loan, you will need a minimum of 5% deposit. It seems like you’re just shy of $2,500.
As you mentioned that this is the first time you’re purchasing a property, you might be eligible for a first home owners grant (FHOG). You can use the grant to make up for the rest of the deposit.
You might also be eligible for an interest rate discount if you can prove that you’re in a strong financial position.
Note that not all lenders offer 95% home loans.
Most lenders consider all loans over 80% of the property value to be high-risk so they often charge Lenders Mortgage Insurance(LMI).
Call us on 1300 889 743 or complete our free assessment form to find out if you qualify for a 95% home loan.
Cheers,
Otto

Hey Jordan,
The actual amount you get varies depending on the various first home owners grants and stamp duty concessions available in each state.
You can use our first home grant calculator to find out just how much you can expect to receive.
