Australians have been taking up the boost at a rate of more than 12,500 a month, Housing Minister Tanya Plibersek says.
Under the government's $1.5 billion first home buyers boost, the first home buyers grant was doubled from $7,000 to $14,000.
Those first home buyers who purchase a new home receive an extra $7,000 to take the total cost of government assistance to $21,000.
14,404 first home buyers took the grant in NSW, giving the state the highest uptake nationally. Queensland followed with 9,319 and then Victoria with 8,632. Western Australia recorded 4,200 first home buyers taking the grant and more than 3,300 from South Australia and 1,135 from Tasmania.
Both territories recorded the lowest uptakes with 703 grants awarded in the nation's capital and 404 in the Northern Territory.
The boost combined with low interest rates has meant that thousands of first home buyers are entering the market.
