You and your brother have equal ownership and so you have equal rights to the house. Can he object? Yes, he can. If you and your husband move in together can he object? No, he can not. Why your husband is moving in is your business but if you need him to live there then offer to have hime pay a token "rent" or bills or something. Maybe that will help. Good luck.
