72 THE BALK 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 two 72 THE BALK sales from October 1996 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 October 1996 sale was for 55% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 55% above the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it falls to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.
