NO matter where you are in your home buying journey, you’ll be spoilt for choice across the region. From quaint country communities to modern living spaces with city amenities, there is likely a land allotment that will capture your heart.

The Shepparton Adviser’s annual guide to buying and building exceptional homes in the region, Great Estates of the Goulburn & Murray Valleys, explores over 130 listed blocks across the region.

First homebuyers, investors or people looking to size up or down have several well-positioned estates to inspect, providing a diverse mix of land stock to suit different lifestyles and visions.

One of the Greater Shepparton’s premier estates, Grammar Park Gardens, is set to sell its final 33 blocks at auction at the end of the month. Buyers won’t want to miss this chance to purchase a good-sized block in one of the region’s most sought-after communities. See page 25 for details before it goes under the hammer.

With interest rates experiencing a modest reduction this year, and more relief for homebuyers expected, it is an excellent time to get into the property market.

Several estates featured in this magazine are nearing completion, signalling the end of a development era in many areas. Rocky Gagliardi, Director of Gagliardi Scott Real Estate, cautions that local land supply is expected to dwindle within a few years, urging prospective builders to capitalise on current availability.
