Carrum Downs is a residential suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, with a property market that has not done so badly over the last few years. With a thriving population of over 20,000, this suburb is highly favored, especially by young families. This way explains why the property market appears to be doing quite well. For example, over the course of last year, the average median price of a home increased by 13.52%. This rise in value was caused by rising demand for properties in the area, which, in turn, has affected the price.

Figures from the last few months also show that the capital gains of real estate buyers in Carrum Downs were quite low compared to gains registered over the last five years. The drop in value increase may be connected with the effect of the Covid pandemic of last year, which affected different industries, including the real estate market. However, the long-term projections of the market remain positive as investors ls continue to see Carrum Downs as a worthy location for investment.

The rental market is also doing quite well, as the current median rental price for homes is pegged at $410. As for properties out up for sale, sellers may have to wait for an average of 27.7 days to find an interested buyer.

Carrum Downs is a suburb in the Southeast of Melbourne, just 36 km of the central business district. The town itself is located within a local government called the City of Frankston. However, as of the 2016 census, the estimates show the city with a population of about 20,711. For years, the suburb was under Cranbourne City, not Frankston, but in 1994, this changed after the national local government reforms.

After the transfer from Cranbourne to Frankston, Carrum Downs began to develop at a rapid pace and, by the turn of the new millennium, was one of the best performing residential suburbs in Melbourne with a property increase of 94%. The increasing demand for properties in the area led to the rise in real estate market value.

Before European settlers arrived in the area, the local aboriginal population lived in the area. The area they occupied was called Karrum Karrum, which the first group of settlers interpreted to be Garem Gam which literally meant "Boomerang." The area was marshy with desert dunes behind it which was a rich area for hunting game. Today, Carrum Downs, as it is now called, has witnessed significant changes. The area still has its swampy marshland; however, human habitation has transformed the area for good.
