2 BRANCKER AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 BRANCKER AVENUE sales from June 2000 and February 2005 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 June 2000 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the February 2005 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 2 BRANCKER AVENUE be worth now?
