18 SPARROW DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 SPARROW DRIVE sales from July 2019 and November 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 July 2019 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 18 SPARROW DRIVE be worth now?
