8 ASHWOOD HEIGHTS 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 8 ASHWOOD HEIGHTS sales from September 2000 and January 2015 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 2000 sale was for 97% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 97% above the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.

What might 8 ASHWOOD HEIGHTS be worth now?
