I think you have several muddled concepts here and they are getting in each others way.

Firstly you aren't actually using ANY of the reactiveUI code, it never gets called. Since your get accessor implements a lazy instantiation pattern then it means the set accessor is ignored. This means that the view never notifies the property change, so you never get updates.

I'd recommend using something more like

private UserControl _currentControl;

public MainWindowVirwModel()
{
  CurrentControl = new HomePage();
}

public UserControl CurrentControl
{
  get { return _curentControl;}
  set { this.RaiseAndSetIfChanged(...); }
}

In addition, this still mixes up View components i.e. HomePage, inside your ViewModel tier which will making unit testing far more difficult.
