3 FORTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wolverhampton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 FORTON CLOSE sales between July 2003 and December 2018 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 August 2012 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the December 2018 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 3 FORTON CLOSE be worth now?
