8 SHORT WOOD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Barnsley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 SHORT WOOD CLOSE sales from September 2010 and February 2012 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 September 2010 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
