2 SOWDEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Eastleigh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 SOWDEN CLOSE sales from July 1997 and November 2001 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 July 1997 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the November 2001 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might 2 SOWDEN CLOSE be worth now?

2 SOWDEN CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £459,869.

This is based on house price inflation of 196.8%, between November 2001 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Eastleigh local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 196.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 2 SOWDEN CLOSE of £154,950 on 23rd November 2001. For the value to have increased from £154,950 to £459,869 over the 22 years and eleven months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 2 SOWDEN CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Eastleigh local authority area.
• The November 2001 sale price of £154,950 represented a fair market value for the property.
