8 HOWCROFT GARDENS 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 8 HOWCROFT GARDENS sales between December 1999 and August 2018 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 2004 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 49% above the HPI.
