31 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 five 31 FORTON CLOSE sales between September 1999 and August 2017 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 April 2011 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.
