31 BIRCHTREE CLOSE 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 31 BIRCHTREE CLOSE sales from December 2006 and October 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 December 2006 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
