34 FOREST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Walsall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 34 FOREST CLOSE sales from March 2016 and June 2024 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 March 2016 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
