When moving on an auspicious day, should the new home enter the house?

The day of moving usually refers to the auspicious day of holding the "ceremony of entering the house".

Open doors, burn incense to worship ancestors, make a fire or set off firecrackers. They are all symbols of a formal move, so without these ceremonies, it is not a real move, just a move, so don't move into a new house before moving.

The above is from the perspective of traditional feng shui theory. Whether to hold the check-in ceremony depends on your own wishes and local customs.

However, whether there is a check-in ceremony or not, it is best to boil some water or turn on a meeting light on the first day of moving into a new house. If you can't keep the lights on all night to warm the house, you'd better keep the lights on for a while, one is to ensure the luck of the new house, and the other is to pray for evil spirits, which will help improve the future fortune of the owner.
