48 LEYBURN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 48 LEYBURN CLOSE sales from December 1995 and February 1997 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 1995 sale was for 40% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% above the HPI over time, until the February 1997 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might 48 LEYBURN CLOSE be worth now?
