The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wolverhampton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 FORTON CLOSE sales from March 2009 and April 2014 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the March 2009 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the April 2014 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI.
