72 MELBOURNE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 72 MELBOURNE ROAD sales between December 2013 and November 2017 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 September 2017 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
