18 SHERWOOD AVENUE 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 SHERWOOD AVENUE sales between December 2002 and June 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 2005 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 18 SHERWOOD AVENUE be worth now?
