When you're ready, so is your new home.

Buying a completed home is simpler than you might think. Whether you're a first home buyer, investor or downsizer, the process is clear, straightforward and built to get you into your new home sooner. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Enquire online to speak with our team. We'll talk through what you're looking for - suburb, layout and budget - and match you with READY homes that suit your lifestyle and goals.

Step 2: Book an inspection. Come and see the finished home in person. No renders, no guesswork. Walk through a completed townhome and know exactly what you're buying before you commit.

Step 3: Review the details. From floorplans to finishes and inclusions, our team will walk you through everything that's included so there are no surprises at settlement.

Step 4: Secure your home. Once you're ready to move forward, we'll guide you through the contract process. One fixed price, a standard home loan and a straightforward single contract, no construction finance needed.

Step 5: Settle and move in. Pay the balance at settlement, collect your keys and move in. With everything already complete, there's nothing left to do but enjoy your new home.

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.

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 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 ready townhomes come landscaped?

Absolutely. Our ready townhomes have full front landscaping, 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.
