12 DOWNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 12 DOWNS CLOSE sales between January 1996 and February 2014 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 2011 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 12 DOWNS CLOSE be worth now?
