CHERRY TREE COTTAGE 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 four CHERRY TREE COTTAGE sales between January 1996 and June 2024 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 April 2021 sale was for 63% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it rises to 58% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% below the HPI.
