18 MELBOURNE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Ipswich local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 MELBOURNE ROAD sales from April 2010 and July 2012 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 April 2010 sale was for 50% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% above the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it rises to 51% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 51% above the HPI.

What might 18 MELBOURNE ROAD be worth now?
