2 RUFFORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 2 RUFFORD CLOSE sales between January 1996 and May 2023 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 2007 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, which was also at 2% below the HPI.

What might 2 RUFFORD CLOSE be worth now?
