26 POPLAR AVENUE 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 26 POPLAR AVENUE sales between June 2014 and January 2024 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 2019 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might 26 POPLAR AVENUE be worth now?
