There is actually a far better way to do this, using ViewModelViewHost:

Now, your class will look something like:

public class MainWindowViewModel : ReactiveObject
{
    private ReactiveObject _CurrentControlViewModel = new HomePageViewModel();
    public ReactiveObject CurrentControlViewModel {
        get { return _CurrentControl; }
        set { this.RaiseAndSetIfChanged(x => x.CurrentControlViewModel, value); }
    }
}

And somewhere in your app's startup, you should write:

RxApp.Register(typeof(IViewFor), typeof(HomePage));

What's ViewModelViewHost?

ViewModelViewHost will take a ViewModel object that you provide via Bindings, and look up a View that fits it, using Service Location. The Register call is how you can associate Views with ViewModels.
