2 OLD FORGE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cotswold local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 OLD FORGE CLOSE sales between May 1995 and January 2003 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 January 2000 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the January 2003 sale, where it rises to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might 2 OLD FORGE CLOSE be worth now?
