Mitcham’s location, 20 kilometres east of Melbourne’s CBD, combined with established infrastructure, currently supports strong and consistent property demand, with the median house price as of December 2025 sitting at $1.2 million.
Mitcham benefits from being strategically positioned between major activity centres like Box Hill and Ringwood. Transport links are a key driver; Mitcham Station provides a 35-40 minute commute to Flinders Street Station on the Belgrave/Lilydale lines. Access to EastLink further enhances connectivity. This accessibility is a significant factor for families and professionals. The presence of quality schools like Antonio Park Primary, Mitcham Primary, and Mullauna Secondary College also contributes to sustained demand, particularly from families. Furthermore, Mitcham’s proximity to Eastland shopping centre and local amenities like Antonio Park and Yarran Dheran Nature Reserve enhance its liveability. Currently, the suburb is experiencing moderate development, primarily infill housing, rather than large-scale projects, suggesting a controlled growth pattern. Neighbouring suburbs like Blackburn North are also seeing similar demand, indicating a broader trend in the eastern corridor.
Mitcham’s established location and infrastructure suggest it will continue to be a desirable suburb with stable, long-term property demand in 2026 and beyond.
