16 BIRCH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The seven 16 BIRCH CLOSE sales between April 1995 and March 2021 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 November 2020 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 16 BIRCH CLOSE be worth now?
