10 ARDENS WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 10 ARDENS WAY sales from September 1996 and April 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 1996 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it rises to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.

What might 10 ARDENS WAY be worth now?
