If you’ve been holding off on building your dream home in Wagga Wagga or Junee, 2026 may be your golden opportunity. Between stabilising interest rates, stronger supply chains, and fresh government incentives for regional builds, the conditions are aligning for one of the best years to build in the Riverina in recent memory.
The pandemic-era delays and supply shortages have largely settled, meaning you’re less likely to face lengthy wait times or surprise costs on materials. Builders like Raulston Family Homes have long-standing relationships with local suppliers and trades—giving you priority access and consistent timelines. Plus, with local infrastructure and job growth booming in regional NSW, new home builds in places like Junee are now seen as strong long-term investments.
Financially, 2026 is shaping up to be a win for home builders. The Reserve Bank’s recent decisions indicate a shift toward easing interest rates, which can increase your borrowing power and reduce long-term loan costs. And if you’re a first-time builder or regional buyer, there’s the potential for new government incentives and grants—particularly as policymakers look to stimulate regional housing and ease metro congestion.
From a lifestyle perspective, the Riverina continues to shine. Wagga Wagga offers top-tier healthcare, education, and connectivity, while Junee blends country charm with community and character. These factors make 2026 not only a smart financial decision—but a personal one, too.
At Raulston Family Homes, we’re ready to help you make the most of the opportunity. With fixed-price contracts, locally tailored floorplans, and access to custom design support, you’ll get a beautiful, future-proof home with no budget blowouts.
