5 POPLAR CRESCENT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bridgend local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 POPLAR CRESCENT sales between January 1999 and January 2024 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 2004 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it falls to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might 5 POPLAR CRESCENT be worth now?

The 8.1% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 POPLAR CRESCENT of £290,000 on 8th January 2024. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £313,534 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
