17 KIRBY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 KIRBY CLOSE sales from June 1996 and December 1997 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 June 1996 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the December 1997 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 17 KIRBY CLOSE be worth now?
