17 WIDNEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Solihull local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 WIDNEY CLOSE sales from March 2020 and January 2022 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 March 2020 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.

What might 17 WIDNEY CLOSE be worth now?
