16 RALSTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Walsall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 RALSTON CLOSE sales from December 1995 and October 1998 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 December 1995 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the October 1998 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 16 RALSTON CLOSE be worth now?
