16 HOWARDIAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Oldham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 HOWARDIAN CLOSE sales from September 2003 and October 2008 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 2003 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the October 2008 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.

What might 16 HOWARDIAN CLOSE be worth now?
