2 KIRKSTALL CLOSE 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 KIRKSTALL CLOSE sales from October 1998 and March 2007 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 October 1998 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the March 2007 sale, where it falls to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.

What might 2 KIRKSTALL CLOSE be worth now?
