15 DOBBIE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 15 DOBBIE CLOSE sales between May 1996 and May 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 February 2007 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 15 DOBBIE CLOSE be worth now?
