There is no need to place the Qur?aan and call out the Adhaan, etc.

Yes, you may recite the verses of the Qur?aan like Surah Yaaseen, etc. as a form of Tabarruk (Barakah or blessings) before you actually move into the house. May Allah Ta?ala protect all of you in this new home and grant all of you aafiyah and joy.
