23 MELBOURNE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 23 MELBOURNE ROAD sales between November 1995 and May 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 September 2003 sale was for 65% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 65% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 73% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 73% above the HPI.

What might 23 MELBOURNE ROAD be worth now?
