31 MESSENGER ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 MESSENGER ROAD sales from April 2015 and November 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 April 2015 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
