2 LONGHIRST GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 LONGHIRST GARDENS sales between December 1997 and February 2009 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 May 2000 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the February 2009 sale, where it falls to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might 2 LONGHIRST GARDENS be worth now?
