16 MAJOR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 16 MAJOR CLOSE sales between October 2003 and August 2009 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 July 2007 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 16 MAJOR CLOSE be worth now?
