A smarter choice for your interior comfort
IMAGINE a home that intuitively responds to the time of day, welcoming the morning sun with a gentle slide of the curtains or instantly creating a private, cosy cinema atmosphere for the evening.
Luxaflex PowerView motorisation turns this vision into reality, redefining how homeowners interact with their living spaces. This innovative technology allows for the precise, effortless control of curtains and soft shades via a smartphone app, a dedicated remote, or simple voice commands.
Beyond the sheer luxury of automation, the system offers intelligent scheduling to bolster home security and optimise energy efficiency, ensuring the property remains comfortable while looking occupied even during long absences.
The removal of traditional, dangling cords further enhances the experience, delivering a clean, minimalist aesthetic that is both safer for families and visually sophisticated.
Homeowners can now bring this seamless blend of

A new development blossoms into fruition
EIGHTEEN large allotments have recently been announced for a new land development in Shepparton East that is set to transform typical estate living.

These generous lot sizes mean you can build a large family
home with ample room for a shed, pool, veggie garden, outdoor entertaining area, playground and large backyard.
Apple Blossom Estate also features landscaped streetscapes and a large reserve with walking paths, enhancing the lifestyle benefit of building a home in this estate.

From flooring specialists to full interior destination
TRANSFORMING your house into a home just got significantly easier for Shepparton residents. Instead of coordinating multiple suppliers to achieve the perfect interior aesthetic, local homeowners can now handle both their floors and their windows in one seamless visit to Shepparton Carpet Court.
The business is evolving beyond a flooring specialist to a comprehensive destination for complete interior styling. Shepparton Carpet Court now offers an extensive range of premium window furnishings and blinds to complement their flooring collections.
This expansion in service is matched by a significant leadership change within the store. After a long and dedicated tenure, Murray Reid has retired. Stepping into the partnership is a face familiar to many, Sam Cundari.
Having worked with Shepparton Carpet Court as an installer for 20 years, Sam brings in-depth product knowledge and a unique understanding of how different materials perform in local homes. His transition from the field to the partnership ensures that the business remains grounded in the practical, hands-on expertise that customers have relied on for decades. The store's commitment to quality also continues to grow with the introduction of a new timber flooring range. Designed to cater to modern design trends and consumer
demand for natural materials, these new options offer both durability and a timeless aesthetic. Whether you are building new, looking to refresh a single room or complete a full home renovation, residents of Shepparton and the broader Goulburn Valley can expect the same high standard of service and local expertise that has defined Carpet Court for years, now with more ways than ever to perfect your interior space. Visit the showroom at 7946 Melbourne Road, Kialla, or call them on 5823 2600. (Next to the former Amart store)
Elegant, comfortable and beautifully tactile, carpet is a timeless option for any home whether your look is classic or more fashion-forward. Renowned for its noise-reducing and insulating qualities, today’s carpet lets you create a space that's practical without compromising on style.

Residential Property values in the Goulburn Valley
By Chris Crouch, property valuer – Opteon Property Valuers
THE residential property market across the Goulburn Valley has continued its gradual recovery into 2026, following a subdued period through 2023 and 2024. After a post-COVID correction, sentiment has turned more positive, supported by stabilising interest rates (albeit with recent increases), improving consumer confidence, and steady population growth across regional Victoria.
While national housing growth has moderated, regional markets have shown resilience. Recent data indicates regional Victorian home values increased by more than 6 per cent year-on-year to December 2025, with a median value around $650,000. Within the Goulburn Valley, performance has been mixed but generally positive to March 2026. Strong annual price growth has been recorded
in Shepparton (+12.4% to a median of $552,000), Mooroopna (+12.4%), Tatura (+6.8%) and Benalla (+6.1%). Other centres such as Kyabram (+3.1%), Echuca (+3.8%), Cobram (+15.6%) and Yarrawonga (+6.4%) have rebounded after softer results in the prior year, while Seymour has remained broadly steady.

investors, drawn by relative affordability and strong rental returns. Rental demand remains robust, with median weekly rents rising between 5 and 10 per cent over the past year. In Shepparton, median house rents are now around $500 per week. Yields across the region typically range between 4.2 and 6 per cent, depending on property type and location. Importantly, vacancy rates remain tight at approximately 1 per cent, well below the Real Estate Institute of Australia benchmark of 3 per cent and below Melbourne’s approximate 1.8 per cent.
This combination of affordability, strong rental demand, and constrained supply has driven increased transaction activity, particularly in entry to mid-level price brackets. Much of this activity is being led by investors—often non-local and supported by buyer’s agents—alongside a smaller cohort of first home buyers and upgrading owneroccupiers. In contrast, the mid-to-upper segments of the market remain relatively subdued, with limited sales volume and modest value growth.
residential land sales have improved over the past 12 months, well above 2024 levels. Developers are cautiously re-entering the market, with several projects anticipated to commence in late 2026.
However, emerging economic headwinds are worth noting. Following signs of easing inflation in late 2025, recent months have seen upward pressure on inflation and interest rates, with the Reserve Bank of Australia signalling ongoing uncertainty partially affected by geopolitical issues. This has begun to temper momentum and may place downward pressure on prices if cost-of-living pressures persist. Momentum may be further tempered pending predicted changes in Government policy in the upcoming May budget targeting reduced tax benefits for investors.
Construction activity continues to be tempered by elevated building costs, although
Overall, the market has transitioned from recovery into a more measured expansion phase. While sharp price growth is unlikely, moderate gains are expected to continue, particularly in the entry to mid-tier segments, supported by low vacancy, limited supply, and relative affordability compared to metropolitan markets.

FOR one of the best cooking experiences, the NEFF Slide&Hide oven is a standout. This German-engineered, built-in electric oven is the world's only oven with a disappearing door, making both cooking and cleaning a breeze.
By removing the need to reach over a door, you can get closer to your dishes safely and comfortably, making it much simpler to check on your cooking or baste a roast. This oven uses VarioSteam technology to add moisture while you cook. This is particularly helpful for achieving crisp results on roasts and bread while keeping the inside juicy.
For added convenience, Home Connect integration lets you control your oven remotely via your smartphone, which can be a great time-saver for preheating or checking settings on busy days.
Cleaning is also straightforward. The pyrolytic selfcleaning mode heats the oven to turn grease and spills into
fine ash, which you can simply wipe away once the unit has cooled. For lighter touch-ups, the EasyClean setting uses water and detergent to soften any residue.

Regions on the rise
By Deanne Jeffers
For the first time on record, house prices in regional Victoria have edged ahead of unit prices in metropolitan Melbourne, according to the latest data from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV).
Figures for the March 2026 quarter show regional house values jumped 3.8 per cent, reaching a median of $672,000, now more than $10,000 higher than Melbourne unit prices, which sit at $659,500.
The result represents the strongest quarterly rise for regional houses since 2021 and continues a streak of recordbreaking growth across three consecutive quarters.
Greater Shepparton ranked fourth for annual house price growth among regional municipalities, with its median rising 19.3 per cent to $575,000 in the 12 months to March 2026. For comparison, the strongest-performing metropolitan municipalities were Melbourne (13.2 per cent), Frankston (11.5 per cent) and Brimbank (11.3 per cent).
At a suburb level, four towns recorded double-digit growth, led by Tatura with a 22.8 per cent increase to $522,000.
Mooroopna and Shepparton both rose 15.5 per cent to $470,000 and $537,000 respectively, while Shepparton North increased 10.3 per cent to $684,000.
Growth in regional unit prices was more subdued, increasing 0.7 per cent to a median of $462,000.
Meanwhile, Melbourne’s housing market also continued its upward trend. House prices climbed to $991,500, their highest level since September 2022, while houses and units rose 1.9 per cent and 1.1 per cent respectively, marking five straight quarters of gains.
Outer suburban areas led the charge in Melbourne’s
Quarterly Price Growth
March 2026
quarterly house price increases, with Taylors Lakes, Lilydale and Mornington all recording gains of at least 10 per cent.
REIV chief executive Toby Balazs said the figures highlight the resilience of Victoria’s property market.
“Despite global uncertainty, higher interest rates and ongoing cost-of-living pressures, these results reinforce the strength of Victoria as a reliable property investment market,” he said.
He added that, with a state election on the horizon, policymakers would be closely watching the data.
“There is a clear opportunity in the upcoming state budget to revisit tax settings that have placed pressure on investors and limited housing supply,” Mr Balazs said.
MARKET GROWTH Regional Victoria has hit a housing milestone, with house prices surpassing Melbourne unit values for the first time, while Greater Shepparton records standout annual growth of 19.3 per cent, led by Tatura, where prices surged 22.8 per cent over the year.
