Ready to move in?

A move-in-ready home is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a brand-new home that’s finished, cleaned and ready for you to turn the key. No trades to chase, no final touches to tick off and no unexpected delays. Just a straightforward path to your own space, where everything’s already in place.

Here at Metricon, our move-in-ready homes are designed to give you peace of mind from the start. You still get the benefits of a thoughtfully built, high-quality home, just without the wait. For many, it’s one of the fastest and simplest ways to step into their dream home and feel at home from day one.

Buying a move-in-ready townhouse takes a different path to building from the ground up. Instead of starting with floor plans and working through approvals, selections and construction, you're stepping into something that's already complete or close to it. That means fewer choices to make, less back-and-forth and a much shorter wait to get the keys.

Here’s how move-in-ready homes and building new typically differ:

• Timeline: Move-in-ready means you can settle in as soon as the paperwork’s done. With new townhouses, you’ll usually wait through site start, construction and handover.
• Decisions: No need to choose every tap and tile. A move-in-ready townhouse comes with finishes already selected by our design team. It's all been thought through for you.
• Inclusions: Most move-in-ready homes come with key features already built in. With a new townhome, these may be optional extras depending on your package.
• Convenience: With less to coordinate and no build process to manage, it's a simpler way to own a brand-new home, especially if you’re short on time or just want to move sooner.

One of the biggest advantages of a Metricon move-in-ready townhouse is knowing what’s included and what’s already done. From day one, you walk into a fully finished space, with thoughtful features already in place and no unexpected add-ons to figure out later.

Here’s what you can typically expect in our completed townhomes in Melbourne:

• Landscaping, fencing, driveway and letterbox all sorted before you move in, so the outside looks as polished as the inside
• Stylish, cohesive colour schemes selected by our interior design team to bring everything together beautifully
• Quality flooring throughout, no patchwork finishes or half-done areas
• Functional kitchen and bathroom fit-outs with high-quality fixtures, tapware and cabinetry
• Energy-efficient inclusions designed to suit real Australian conditions
• Upgrades already built in as part of the package
• Fixed price contract so there’s no surprises down the track

Buying a completed home is often much simpler than starting from scratch. Whether you're a first-home buyer, downsizer or investor, the process is clear, straightforward and built to get you settled sooner. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Enquire online to speak with our team. We’ll talk through what you’re looking for, from suburb to layout and price, and help match you with options that suit your lifestyle and budget.

Step 2: Book an inspection. Depending on availability, you can walk through a display home or arrange a private viewing of a completed townhouse.

Step 3: Review the floor plan and details. From compact layouts to double-storey designs and four-bedroom homes, we’ll help you find a modern living setup that fits your needs.

Step 4: Secure your townhouse. Once you’re happy, you can move forward with the contract. Our team is here to guide you through each step, including questions about low-maintenance living, timing and paperwork.

Step 5: Move-in day. With everything already complete, you can get the keys and settle in. It’s a faster way to own a home that balances comfort, style and affordability.

What’s the difference between turnkey and move-in-ready?

Both mean the home is finished and ready for you to walk in with no extra work. At Metricon Homes, our move-in-ready townhouses in Melbourne are fully turnkey, with key inclusions like flooring, landscaping and fencing already done.

Are move-in-ready townhouses eligible for first-home buyer grants?

Yes, many of our move-in-ready townhouses qualify for first-home buyer grants, but it depends on the home’s value and location. Our team can walk you through what’s available for Metricon’s completed townhomes in Melbourne and how to apply.

Do Metricon’s move-in-ready townhomes come landscaped?

Absolutely. Our move-in-ready townhomes come fully landscaped, so the outside looks just as finished as the inside. It’s part of making the whole experience simpler from day one.

Are townhomes a good option for investors?

Yes, they’re a great fit for investors who want a modern, easy-care property in a high-demand location. With Metricon’s completed townhomes, there’s no waiting for a build. Just a finished asset that’s ready to go.

What should I look out for when buying a completed home?

Confirm what’s included, what’s done and what might still need finishing. With Metricon Homes, our completed townhouses in Melbourne come ready to live in before handover, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
