3 MELBOURNE AVENUE 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 3 MELBOURNE AVENUE sales between June 2010 and December 2020 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 December 2015 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
