3 HOWCROFT COURT 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 two 3 HOWCROFT COURT sales from August 2000 and September 2008 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 2000 sale was for 103% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 103% above the HPI over time, until the September 2008 sale, where it falls to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.
