Housing market continues to thrive THE Shepparton housing market is continuing the boom that we experienced last year, and with the reserve bank dropping interests rates to an all time low, there has never been a better time to invest in a home in the Shepparton region. In Shepparton, over the last 10 months we have seen an extra 40 new dwellings erected when compared with the same period in the previous year and during April this year an extra $500,000 plus was spent on new dwellings when compared to April last year, taking the monthly total spent on new dwellings to $5,824,536. In fact, the boom is being seen across the state, with the value of building permits in Victoria reaching a record $26.9B last year and that number is expected to continue climbing as the housing and building sectors continue to gain strength.
