39 BIRCHTREE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 39 BIRCHTREE CLOSE sales between March 2007 and December 2016 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 December 2016 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the December 2016 sale, which was also at 8% below the HPI.

What might 39 BIRCHTREE CLOSE be worth now?
