42 THORNES ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 THORNES ROAD sales between May 1998 and July 2015 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 2007 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it rises to 71% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 71% above the HPI.
