16 GOODMAN DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 GOODMAN DRIVE sales from November 2004 and July 2010 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 2004 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 16 GOODMAN DRIVE be worth now?
