20 MATTHEW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Oldham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 20 MATTHEW CLOSE sales between September 2002 and October 2023 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 2015 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
