9 BIRCHTREE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wakefield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 9 BIRCHTREE CLOSE sales from October 2002 and June 2004 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 2002 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the June 2004 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 9 BIRCHTREE CLOSE be worth now?
