17 DEMPSEY CLOSE 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 17 DEMPSEY CLOSE sales from June 2016 and July 2019 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 2016 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might 17 DEMPSEY CLOSE be worth now?
