In case of shops you can call the opening ceremony as "Inauguration". what is it in case of house?

Re: House Opening
If you mean an informal reception one gives for a bunch of their good friends after moving into a new house, a commonly used expression is 'a house-warming party', at least in BrE.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

Re: House Opening
Inauguration is used when a head of state is sworn in and takes office.
