26 HOWCROFT 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 three 26 HOWCROFT GARDENS sales between September 2000 and December 2017 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 October 2001 sale was for 157% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 157% above the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 111% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 111% above the HPI.
