13 MELBOURNE AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 13 MELBOURNE AVENUE sales between June 2004 and August 2018 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the June 2008 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
