38 WEST CROSS LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swansea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 38 WEST CROSS LANE sales from October 2016 and September 2021 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 2016 sale was for 113% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 113% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 93% above the HPI.
