Statistics from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV) show the locale is number nine on its top 20 list of rapidly expanding areas, boasting near double-digit price growth in the December quarter last year.

Narre Warren South claimed the top spot on the listings, with growth of just under 20 per cent.
The organisation said confidence is on the up in the state’s real estate market, which could spell good news for those seeking out Carnegie real estate or homes in the surrounding areas.
