17 RUBY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 17 RUBY CLOSE sales between June 2003 and February 2019 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 October 2004 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 17 RUBY CLOSE be worth now?

17 RUBY CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £465,212.

This is based on house price inflation of 14.9%, between February 2019 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the New Forest local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 14.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 17 RUBY CLOSE of £405,000 on 1st February 2019. For the value to have increased from £405,000 to £465,212 over the four years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 17 RUBY CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the New Forest local authority area.
• The February 2019 sale price of £405,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
