3 RIDINGS 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 3 RIDINGS GARDENS sales between June 1999 and August 2010 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 2004 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
