Finding and then moving into a new home is always an exciting process. Sure, it has its headaches along the way, but there’s nothing quite like the thrill of that first night in a new house. And when the new house happens to be in a whole new region, the thrill only intensifies. Buy a home in Warragul for an average price of $355,000, or in Trafalgar for $296,500.
