42 ELMWOOD AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 42 ELMWOOD AVENUE sales between April 1997 and October 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 May 2013 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 65% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 65% above the HPI.
