1 BIRCHEN CLOSE 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 1 BIRCHEN CLOSE sales between April 2002 and March 2013 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 2006 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the March 2013 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
