The latest Victorian Property Sales Report, published this month by Land Victoria, showed the Wodonga figure of $295,000 did not alter between 2014 and 2015 and is also the preliminary price for this year.

In 2005, Wodonga’s median house price was $226,000.

Victorian Valuer-General Robert Marsh said the state’s house prices had continued to grow, rising 5.4 per cent in 2015 and by 75 per cent since 2005.

“The median house price in country Victoria increased by 2.5 per cent compared to an 8.1 per cent rise in metropolitan Melbourne,” he said in the report.
