17 FERN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Harborough local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 FERN CLOSE sales from February 2008 and August 2023 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 February 2008 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 51% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% below the HPI.

What might 17 FERN CLOSE be worth now?
