18 CRANBROOK DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 CRANBROOK DRIVE sales between June 2007 and November 2017 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 2014 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 18 CRANBROOK DRIVE be worth now?
