15 CASTLEGATE DRIVE 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 15 CASTLEGATE DRIVE sales between July 1997 and March 2024 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 May 2019 sale was for 99% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 99% below the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
