8 FONTWELL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 FONTWELL CLOSE sales from February 1996 and December 2002 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 February 1996 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the December 2002 sale, where it rises to 64% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 64% above the HPI.

What might 8 FONTWELL CLOSE be worth now?
