37 FOREST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bolton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 37 FOREST DRIVE sales from June 2004 and January 2005 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 June 2004 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the January 2005 sale, where it rises to 33% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% above the HPI.
