Wallan offers the cheapest newly released residential land at a median of $248 per square metre, the latest Domain Group data shows.

Craigieburn had the most number of land sales over the December quarter.

Doreen in Melbourne's north-east recorded the strongest annual growth for land prices at 18.5 per cent.

The median price for land in Pakenham also jumped 17.3 per cent over the year.

Some western suburbs had weaker values and growth because there was more land, Domain Group chief economist Andrew Wilson noted.
