7 BIRCH LEA CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 BIRCH LEA CLOSE sales between May 1996 and April 2007 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 November 2001 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the April 2007 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.
