157 STEVENAGE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 157 STEVENAGE ROAD sales between June 1998 and March 2019 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 June 2015 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.

What might 157 STEVENAGE ROAD be worth now?
