5 RAINBOW DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 RAINBOW DRIVE sales from March 1995 and August 2006 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 March 1995 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the August 2006 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.

What might 5 RAINBOW DRIVE be worth now?
