18 ROWAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 18 ROWAN CLOSE sales between April 1997 and February 2023 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 January 2007 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the February 2023 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 18 ROWAN CLOSE be worth now?

The 5.5% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 18 ROWAN CLOSE of £330,000 on 22nd February 2023. For the value to have increased from £330,000 to £348,143 over the two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
