The build is funded by Warralily, removing the financial strain of servicing a mortgage while paying rent during construction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With construction expected to be complete by early 2027, the one-part contract and price point below traditional house-and-land packages, offers a more affordable, easier to finance path into home ownership.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And since Warralily is 90 per cent sold, with only a few land stages remaining, buyers are recognising this is one of their last opportunities to secure a new home in this great community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30038\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30038\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30038\" src=\"https:\/\/static.timesnewsgroup.com.au\/prod\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/LOMAKitchenRender_13351.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">At the centre of each LOMA townhome is a thoughtfully designed kitchen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A refined blend of brickwork, cladding, and render gives each fa\u00e7ade a strong architectural presence, while the interior is designed for spaciousness, natural light, and effortless modern living.
