10 BLACKTHORN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 10 BLACKTHORN CLOSE sales from September 2013 and May 2015 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 2013 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the May 2015 sale, where it rises to 61% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% above the HPI.

What might 10 BLACKTHORN CLOSE be worth now?
