16 RIDINGS GARDENS 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 two 16 RIDINGS GARDENS sales from July 2004 and February 2013 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 2004 sale was for 71% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% above the HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, where it falls to 68% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% above the HPI.
