157 FOXFOLD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Lancashire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 157 FOXFOLD sales between March 1998 and July 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 July 2010 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.

What might 157 FOXFOLD be worth now?
