49 WIDDOWS STREET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 49 WIDDOWS STREET sales from August 2000 and January 2008 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 August 2000 sale was for 69% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% below the HPI over time, until the January 2008 sale, where it rises to 59% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 59% below the HPI.
