26 FOREST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bolton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 FOREST DRIVE sales from March 2004 and July 2010 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 March 2004 sale was for 41% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% above the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.
